and they should stop forcing Arabs to recognize them as Jewish. It's not a Rabbinic prohibition, but it's the Torah that prohibits women from serving in the IDF army and carrying weapons. This sin is prohibited like eating ham or desecrating the Shabbat.

God Bless our dear soldiers. Our leaders on the other hand leave much to be desired. One this is over, a house cleaning is in order, starting with the PM DM and COS. They have performed very poorly in their assigned functions.

.. you did a great job. Our tears for the wounded soldiers are the same as yours.

Beautiful, smart, dedicated young Israeli women. It is not easy to perform triage under enemy fire, lugging equipment that weighs almost as much as oneself! But these lovely young women did it! Proud doesn't BEGIN to describe it! Kol ha'kavod, banot!

There are lots of us who believe in you. Never stop fighting for peace.

corpsmen with EMT training. The problem with them was the patients they were sent on ambulances to bring to the clinic E.R., they did not have the strength to lift the patients and someone else had to be sent out to help. Women do not have the bone density men have so women get stress fractures more easily. The emotional stress on the women picking up body parts of downed pilots was phenomenol with the women vomiting and crying uncontrollably instead of just doing their job. Then the experience of seeing a baby born caused some females hospital corpsmen to say they would never have children after seeing the mess. The blood and guts of a lot of things offended them to the bone and traumatized them. Better to send males on ambulance runs and to scoop up bodies and body parts since they seem better able to do the job and go on.

Beautiful Lionesses of Judah, I love you as if you were my granddaughters. G-d Bless Eretz Yisrael, G-d Bless the IDF. Shavouah tov.

Proud that Israel has such daughters, so brave and kind. This country owes you all the respect that you deserve. You also prove a point that if given opportunity; women is not less than a man. All those complaining and asking the position of a woman in army, please take a note. May god bless you all.

You touched my heart and reminded me how much Israel cares about life and living. Well done to you and thank you. I salute you!

achievement, instead of utilising and developing the formidable high-tech potential Israel has to improve the Shin Bet's and IDF strategy. A girl of 50 kilos had to bear a weight of 40 kilos.This is inhumane.Who was her commander? Notwithstanding,i have no words to express my admiration for these wonderful girls,I hope they will not serve as an example for other Israeli girls I wish them lots of happiness and a great future.

role models.Girls don't belong on the battle- front.

I am an American that served in the Israeli army during the Yim Kippur war. My first born son, Micah was born in Beersheva hospital on October 23, 1973. I cried reading this article as the bravery and humanity of these heroic female paramedics touched deep in my heart. It made me realize my love for Israel and its people runs deep and that Israel can never be defeated by the hatred surrounding it.

Beyond Beautiful, braver than brave, greater than great

Maybe I needed to be there to give my abilities to the wounded, guys from my battalion, 18-year-old soldiers who shouldn't be in my care. What have they had time to do in their life?" What time had all those gazan children that those 18 year old soldiers killed to do in their lifes . She and those soldiers shouldn't have been there at all! An articvle like this making heroics out of aiding a murderous army disgusts me totally.

War will never achieve peace it will only corrupt the Israeli society even more. End the occupation of Gaza and the west bank or have a one state solution with equal rights. Free Ghetto Gaza Not in my name Palestinians are Semitic people.... Wake up

Beautiful story of beautiful, young brave soldiers.

After 120 years, these Bnot Yisrael will have earned a huge portion of Gan Eden in HaOlam Haba, for their courage, strength and heroism on behalf of Klal Yisrael in Olam Hazeh. They shine brighter than all of the stars in the Universe and my heart is bursting with love and pride.

I suppose the photo was taken before their mission... Now they will probably have nightmares for the rest of their lives, like many soldiers have. Anyway, all the best to them. I hope it was worth it -

In answer to the Biblical query "A Woman of Valor Who Can Find" modern times and circumstances presents us with stunning examples, no less exemplary than the woman portrayed in the Eshet Chayil of the Book of Proverbs. Where is the poet to immortalize them?

May the women of the world learn a great lesson from these brave and beautiful "Zionist-Israeli-Jewish" women, whose commitment keeps the IDF, Israel, Zionism, Judaism and DEMOCRACY alive! Keep your ham sandwiches to yourself, Chaim, while these Ladies preserve your Right to Life.

Why go so crazy, this girls did a wonderful job. Granted, it's not the right thing that women are asked to serve in the army. But let's do it better from now on and in the meantime appreciate what those girls did for all of us.

as they'll get for desecrating Shabbat or eating ham. Women in the army, as #1 said, is anti Torah and shameful for a Jewish state. They are no heroes and nothing to be proud of.

Bless them a thousand times over!!

from the packs.

I just wanted to share how moved and touched I was by reading this article on these brave female members of the IDF. This is the human face of a terrible tradgedy that is being perpetrated by enermies of freedom and democracy in the Arab world. I truly wish and pray for God's protection and help on the nation of Israel and Jewish people everywhere.

God bless to this fearless IDF women who did their job well and GOD BLESS ISRAEL...you are the heroes of your country.
