In the video: The IDF has made a final decision - women will continue to fight in tanks (IDF spokesperson)
At the end of an extensive survey conducted among the conscript soldiers regarding the uniform, the IDF announced today (Sunday) that the regular maids will have the option of choosing between two types of pants. One - a regular model like the one that soldiers receive, and the other - a model with back pockets , the usual that female soldiers usually receive.
Soldiers from the Air and Space Arms and Navy Arms, who wear beige uniforms, will be able to choose pants with front pockets ("kopiko") with a shirt with two pockets or pants with two back pockets with a shirt with one pocket.
The choice will be possible starting in August 2023, at which time a female soldier who reaches the enlistment chain will receive three sets of uniforms of her choice - uniforms with back pockets, military uniforms or a combination of the two types of sets. Female soldiers already in service will also be able to exercise the right to choose. Mandatory female soldiers with a remaining service of More than six months will be able to receive an additional set of uniforms according to their choice, but the distribution method in this case has not yet been determined.

In addition, today girls who belong to the general population of the IDF are entitled to ¾ shoes, better known as girls' shoes. As part of the clothing revolution, it was decided to produce improved ¾ shoes, "mini infantry shoes", to improve the quality for the conscript soldiers.
If the pilot is successful as planned, all female soldiers who belong to the general population of the IDF will receive a pair of improved ¾ shoes as early as the November 2023 recruitment cycle. At the moment, no distribution is planned for female soldiers already in service. With these shoes, it will be possible to wear both DGMH model uniforms and pocket model Rears.
