There is the Caracal Battalion:
Caracal Battalion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
And there are very few females who serve in used-to-be male only combat units in Golani, Nahal, Kfir, Magav, Givati etc as fighters. I personally know such person even though they make a very small minority amongst female recruits.
Which kinda illustrates my point, which is that, there isn't enough evidence to support the notion that co-ed infantry units are successful.
Besides that, a lot of females such as my sister serve in roles that are labeled as "combat supporters" and are trained for non-front-line combat purposes, and there are also female soldiers that serve in roles where, while they are not intended to be used for combat purposes, they are trained for such since they are stationed in places that might put them in the situation of combat.
That's the same as the United States military.
There are also some female jet pilots, a role that requires advanced combat skills.
Fighter pilots don't live in the field, together in the way that combat arms units do.
