Opening of combat roles in the Air Force, this time in 669.
MHA recommendation adopted by the Chief of Staff.
According to the criteria, sorting.
In the coming days, we will forward the IDF's response to the High Court Department regarding the opening of additional combat roles.
669 is the first move, but not the only one.
95% of the positions in the IDF are open to women, and in the coming days we will be briefed before the IDF's response to the High Court, perhaps even returning with the committee led by Joel Strick.
Probably on Monday.
Brigadier General Iter Raichel "This is a special day, a happy and significant day for the Air Force.
: The commander of the corps recommended to the chief of staff to open the fighting profession in 669 to women as well. This is a special unit, one of 4 special units in the IDF.
A very challenging training and service track.
Already as we speak, the rescue teams that are on standby now already have women.
There are combat paramedics sitting in helicopters, there are doctors. "

He added: "The women who will enter the unit's training track will join a unique family of women in the Air Force - Air Force women, GNA fighters, other classified units, in the Krayot, intelligence women, inspectors.
Over 95% of the professions in the Knesset are open to women. This is due to the fact that we want to produce the Knesset as strong as possible and exhaust Israeli society as much as possible, and 50% of the society are women.
We will enable the integration of appropriate women from the understanding that they meet physiologically appropriate criteria - so that we can both maintain their health and perform the task.
We will not compromise on carrying out the mission, because the mission is to save human lives.
Part of the non-compromise on the standard - an orderly staff work is done to build a classification and training that is parallel and integrated to the route of the differentiating and talented men.
To check that the standard has not been violated. "
