Female Israeli soldiers will no longer be allowed to serve as guards in high-security prisons after allegations surfaced of sexual involvement with Palestinian inmates.

According to Israeli media, the female soldier admitted to having physical intimacy with a Palestinian man responsible for a deadly attack on Israeli civilians.

During questioning by the court hearing the case, the soldier claimed that four other women had also engaged in intimate relations with the same man.

The IPS chief Katy Perry and the National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir announced that female soldiers would no longer serve in high-security prisons.
He stated, “Not a single female soldier will remain in the security prisoners’ wings.”

The names of the soldiers and inmates serving a life sentence have not been released.

Israel has mandatory military service for its citizens, with women required to serve for at least two years and men for 32 months.

The Israeli Prison Service has transferred the Palestinian inmate to a segregated wing for further questioning.

However, this latest incident has fueled debate about whether or not female soldiers should be allowed to serve in certain roles due to the risk of sexual impropriety or incidents of harassment.

The Israeli military has promised stricter supervision over soldiers tasked with guarding high-security prisoners, but some call for a complete overhaul of the system.

Critics argue that the problem is not limited to female soldiers and that more must be done to prevent sex between Israeli prison guards and Palestinian inmates, regardless of gender.

They argue that the ban on female guards is merely a band-aid solution to a larger, systemic problem that requires more comprehensive reform.
