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

The Israeli Air Force has promoted Colonel 'G.' to the rank of brigadier-general, making her the first woman in the Air Force's history to achieve this distinction. She previously commanded the Uvda Air Force base since May 2024 and was the first female base chief in Air Force history. Her next assignment will be as the Air Force attaché in Washington, a position critical to bilateral aerial cooperation. At 42, she has already achieved significant milestones, including becoming the first woman to command an Air Force squadron in 2019. While there have been female major-generals in the IDF, achieving the rank of brigadier-general in the Air Force remains exceptionally rare. Other recent promotions include Brig.-Gen. Omer Cohen to the 91st Division, Brig.-Gen. Beni Aharon to the 36th Division, and Brig.-Gen. Oren Simcha to the Southern Command's 162nd Division.
