18,000 Israeli Women Permitted to Carry Guns

A total of 18,000 Israeli women can now carry guns as approved by the authorities and as they go about their daily business.  

The latest figure is trending on the social media. Since 7 October 2023, the number of Israeli women applying for a license to carry a gun shot up to 42,000.

And therefore the number of gun licenses carried by Israeli women is triple the pre-7 October number and is likely to go up.

More than 15,000 Israeli settler women in the West Bank now carry guns and the number being trained to carry firearms stand at 10,000.

The surge in weapons permit was allowed by National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir as he loosened Israel’s gun laws.
