Occupied Quds - Saba:
Israeli media revealed on Thursday that the Israeli army has started forming a new battalion primarily consisting of women.
The Israeli army radio stated: "The creation of a new combat battalion made up mainly of female fighters is due to the failure to recruit Haredim," according to their statement.
The Israeli army has been facing a severe shortage of personnel recently due to the refusal of many reservists to join military service.
On Tuesday, the Israeli Ministry of War revealed shocking statistics on the injuries of Israeli soldiers since the beginning of the war on the Gaza Strip.
