Abstract

During the last three decades women have been fighting for the opportunity to serve as warriors in the various army units. Since the Alice Miller Supreme Court decision in 1995, many new roles were opened to women, including fighting roles, and new units were opened,especially in Border Defense Core. However, it seems that the IDF is inno hurry to create equal opportunities for women in its fighting units, in the infantry and armor brigades. We claim that the IDF should only consider the competence required from the soldiers for executing successful missions and military goals and show how whenever there is blurring of gender boundaries between men and women in the military (Degendering), attempts are made to return the women soldiers to traditionally feminine roles (Regendering).
