Media outlets affiliated with the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist group in the Gaza Strip on Saturday showcased the large contingent of women who have joined the organization's ranks.
The images show a large group of women taking part in military drills aimed at attacking Israeli soldiers and civilians.
They are shown carrying cardboard rifle cutouts and also shooting real weapons while surrounded by fellow terrorists in Israel Defense Forces uniforms.
The women, wearing the group's uniform, are also seen marching in the streets of Gaza.
This is not the first time that images featuring female Islamic Jihad fighters have been made public. However, it is the first time they have been depicted in such large numbers engaging in military training.
In the past, Islamic Jihad has used female suicide bombers in attacks on Israelis.
