That's a popular misconception about the Israeli army.  Both men
and women are drafted, but Israeli women have not been assigned combat
duties since the 50's.  When in Israel I was told that all women were
removed from combat after several female soldiers were killed rather
gruesomely during some border skirmish back then.
