The Israeli Navy has appointed its first ever woman commander of a vessel, Ynet reports. Or Cohen is currently serving as a navigation officer on a missile boat, and will become deputy chief of a Dvora patrol boat once her promotion is officially confirmed. General Ram Rothberg, head of the Israeli navy, has already green-lighted the decision.

“My life’s dream is coming true,” Cohen told Ynet. “I’m very excited and I’m grateful for the opportunity and the trust the senior command has in me. As an IDF officer, I believe in the integration of women into meaningful combat roles and I’m glad that I’ve been given the chance to have influence.”
