“I am pleased that their number is increasing, and this is due to the legislative changes that were adopted back in 2018, when they allowed women to hold military positions.. They can also study in any military specialty, which is also very good. At present, this year we have graduations of girls who came in 2018 to study in the specialties that they have chosen, they are already officers now, and there is a tendency for the growth of officer positions. today there are 3788.

And this is a fairly powerful force,"

“There is no specific standard adopted yet, it has not yet been issued centrally, but I am sure that this process should start before the end of the year,” she added..
