History made: First woman breaks into Israel’s most elite unit

In a historic milestone for the IDF, the first woman ever has completed the brutal 18-month training course of Sayeret Matkal, Israel’s most elite special forces unit.

The soldier endured one of the military’s toughest selection and training processes, overcoming challenges that had previously prevented every female candidate from reaching the finish line. After nearly two years of relentless physical and mental trials, she earned her place among the nation’s most highly regarded warriors.

Her achievement shatters a decades-old barrier and opens a new chapter in IDF history. At a time when Israel faces threats on multiple fronts, her success stands as a powerful symbol of determination, resilience, and the willingness of a new generation to serve at the highest level in defense of the Jewish state.
