IDF Women Reserve Soldiers { 20 images } Created 11 Jan 2010

Following their active service, Israeli women, like men, are in theory required to serve up to one month annually in reserve duty. However, in practice only some women, mostly in combat roles, get called for active reserve duty, and only for a few years following their active service, with many exit points (e.g., pregnancy).
During their reserve service women are having training periods as well as operational activity across Israeli borders and in the West Bank. They serve together with men soldiers, in mixed units, sharing the same tasks and activities.
Women integration in reserve duty is a major social change in Israel as reserve duty was for generations men's territory.
