During a visit by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to haredi (ultra-Orthodox) soldiers, female soldiers were reportedly told to remain in their quarters to avoid contact with the all-male unit. The report, citing military sources, adds to a previous incident in southern Lebanon last month, as The Zioneer previously covered, when female artillery soldiers were barred from entering a home during the PM's visit for similar reasons. That prior event occurred on July 1. The current report does not specify the location or exact unit involved. The military has not yet commented.
