The Caracal Battalion os a front line Combat Unit, about 90% women, according to the IDF organizational charts.

I can’t change facts my FRiend.

They are deployed on Israel’s Southern border and do a far better job than we do on our SOuthern border with Mexico, IMHO.

They do not have a lot of combat history only having been formed in 2000, but they did take part in the evacuation of Gaza in 2005, many under fire.That was a non combat operation, which as you may know, had combat.

What else can I say? Sheesh. The Israelis have women posted in fromt line combat positions along the SOuthern Border of Israel.Thats a stone cold fact.

Just google Caracal Battalion and see for yourself.

I did and I found no mention of actual combat actions.

I saw them engaged in removing settlers.

Having a unit described as being combat ready and actually engaging in combat are two different things.
