From TheJC:
The Israeli army has appointed the first female Muslim-Arab major in the country’s history.Ella Waweya was promoted last week, eight years after joining the IDF (Israel Defence Forces).Telling the JC of her “joy” over her promotion, the 31-year-old major said that she had kept it secret when she first joined the military.She said: “It took some of my family time to accept, but they are now proud of me.”Major Waweya is deputy commander of the military’s Arabic-language spokespersons’ unit.She joined up after studying communications at university, determined to help the IDF communicate and explain its actions through Arabic-language media.She said: “When I saw Arabic media I thought someone needs to give a different perspective on this, and that’s exactly what I’m trying to do today.“I’m showing that the IDF looks after all residents of Israel, not just one people.”
