Our new face towards Arabs

Captain Ella is our new face. Lt. Col. Ella Waweya, known in the Arab world by her online name "Captain Ella", will replace IDF Arabic spokesperson Avihai Adraee, who is leaving the IDF after 20 years of service.

Ella grew up in Qalansawe, and at around age 22 decided to perform national service, which she carried out at Meir Medical Center in Kfar Saba. Two years later she decided to enlist in the IDF as well, and served as a new media officer in the Arabic communications section of the IDF Spokesperson's Unit.
