ilitary for not opening enough investigations into allegations of
mistreatment of Palestinians.

The allegations include abuse and other assaults on Paelstinians, property crimes and shootings, the military said.

Also Thursday, the military confirmed it would institute an affirmative action program to bring more women into top military positions.

The IDF has drafted both men and women since 1948.

Women also filled the same roles as men in pre-state Jewish underground
groups, but later most women in the Israeli military were relegated to desk jobs.

In recent years women have been accepted into combat units, and several have qualified as air force fighter pilots.
