(NEWS) New Army Program Aims To Recruit Haredi Women To IDF

"The recruits are to be trained as computer programmers in Military Intelligence and separated from male soldiers.

The IDF has launched an experimental project to recruit ultra-Orthodox women for the first time, tailoring the service to their way of life and providing them with a sought after profession. The project's success is not yet clear.

The army recruited a few dozen ultra-Orthodox women some two months ago to be trained as computer programmers in Military Intelligence. They will serve in teams with women commanders and be separated from males."
