In Air Force first, IDF promotes woman to brigadier-general, appoints her Washington attachée

The IDF announced that Colonel "G." will be the first woman in Israeli Air Force history to be promoted to brigadier-general. She will serve as the Air Force attachée in Washington, a critical role for aerial cooperation between the two countries. G., 42, previously commanded the Uvda Air Force base and was the first woman to lead an Air Force squadron in 2019. While other women have reached brigadier-general in the IDF, G. is the first to achieve this rank through the Air Force's internal progression. This promotion marks a significant milestone, as brigadier-general is the third-highest rank in the Israeli military.
