Also Israel has different gender roles in the IDF.  For all purposes women are support roles, not even to the extent that the US has women, where they work behind the scenes.  Also, the IDF does not use women in combat zones or outside of Israel.  That is why 99% of those killed are male even though the IDF is 38% female.  By contrast about 3% of those killed in the US military are female but only 12% of those deployed are female.
