Female Israeli Soldier Challenges 30 Ultra-Orthodox Jews


RadioOnFire.com - A young woman showed off her fighting skills last week, pushing back about 30 Ultra-Orthodox Jews who were protesting the military draft in Jerusalem.

Off-duty soldier Nomi Golan was trying to guide a car through the massive protest, where she was harassed by a large group of men. Protesters cursed, spat, and even called Golan out her name as she attempted to do her job.



“They attacked me, so as a soldier, a civilian, an old woman, young or no matter what role I or what I was wearing, I defended myself as I would in any other situation,” she said according to The Washington Post.

The clip shows Golan taking on the protestors by herself, she pushes and kicks, eventually guiding the car through the crowded street.




Reportedly, the protests occurred after two yeshiva students were arrested by the army for not showing up at the military recruitment office. Although Ultra-Orthodox students have been exempt from serving in the military, they are still required to present themselves to the army (with a letter from their school.) However, many students refuse to do so. Nearly 60 people were arrested in the protest according to police.
