Gaza – Israel has deployed the Israeli women’s Caracal Battalion for a “special classified operation” in the besieged Gaza Strip, Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper reported.

The paper quoted Battalion Commander, Major Shira, as saying that her division had been called up for classified special missions in Gaza to support the forces of the Israeli army in the Strip.

“About three weeks ago, we received an order from the Caracal Battalion commander to form a team of the best and most professional female fighters, to carry out a special activity inside the Gaza Strip,” she said. 

"The battalion works alongside other combat forces and military intelligence and in cooperation with special units inside Gaza," Shira continued. 

Major Shira explained that the battalion has already joined the ground forces and special units deep in the Gaza Strip.
