Throughout human history, women have been symbols of peace, compassion, emotions, and pacifism. Although feminists may challenge the accuracy of this statement, the direct presence of men and the indirect presence of women in most wars have led to men being labeled as symbols of violence and women as symbols of nurturing. Nevertheless, in the 21st century, the presence of women on the battlefront has become an important issue in the military strategies of world powers. The question of whether the world's armies can deploy female soldiers on the front lines has become a challenging issue for military commanders. Israel is one of the political regimes that, without any hesitation, employs women on the battlefield. Accordingly, the question of this article is as follows: What factor or factors have led some governments, such as the Israeli regime, to permit the use of women on the battlefield? The research hypothesis is that the necessity of regime survival and the shortage of military officers, if recruitment were limited to men only, have caused Israel to abandon gender policy in soldier recruitment and call both men and women to serve in the army. The findings of the present research indicate that security needs—such as the need for survival, lack of strategic depth, demographic challenges, and expansionist policies—have compelled this regime to disregard the social harms caused by the presence of women on the battlefield, overlook the notion of women's pacifism, and utilize all its military capacities, including female combat forces, in its wars.
