If I understand correctly, they're in the Israel Defense Force. A comment from the linked site by "Daniel in Brookline":
Sure, they're out of uniform. Israeli soldiers are not required to wear the uniform when off-base and off-duty -- at least, they weren't when I served, twenty years ago -- and they had to go off-base to buy ice cream, didn't they?
On the other hand, many IDF units do have strict regulations about carrying your weapon at all times. I have to wonder about the young woman in the middle -- her M-16 actually has the magazine in, which you're not supposed to do in metropolitan areas.
They look like nice ladies. Don't piss them off.
