The IDF may have the most terrifying weapon to use against the Islamic State (ISIS) – women.

The co-ed Caracal Battalion is deployed at the Israeli border with Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, where the Islamic State (ISIS) has claimed dozens of terrorist attacks, the latest being the bombed Russian airplane that was blown up shortly after taking from the Sharm-el-Sheikh airport in the Sinai.

Caracal commander Lt. “Ada” says”

I’m not afraid to confront terrorists if necessary. ISIS fighters are terrified of being defeated by a woman; it completely contradicts their radical beliefs.

The Caracal Battalion is responsible for defending the volatile Israel-Sinai border. Established in 2004, it was the first battalion to fully integrate women as combat soldiers. The battalion is trained to deal with terrorist infiltrations, bombs on the border, shootings, smuggling and crime. Lt. Ada adds:

After the Russian plane went down, we realized how tangible the threat has become. My soldiers need to know that we are here to stand up against terrorism.”
