The idea that Israeli girls were drafted into direct combat roles in Israel's wars is a bit of a myth. While it's certainly true that in dealing with terrorists, any REMF can be on the firing line in an instant, but the same thing is true of anyone in their civil population, in uniform or not, and of course the War for Independence was a whole different kettle of fish but then that was before the IDF was established in its modern form anyway. Although the law changed back around 2000 to allow 'Full military equality for any job for which qualified,' in the major wars Israel fought women served in what we would call combat service support (Medical, clerical, maintenance, etc.) and some combat support (Mainly commo in their case) jobs, not infantry squads or tank crews. There are infantry units now that integrate male and female soldiers, but the whole idea has really never been put into the crucible and tested in the fire in any major way yet.
