Miss Israel has been given permission not to carry her assault rifle during service in the Israeli army because she says it bruises her legs.
Reigning beauty queen Yael Nezri, a private who recently completed basic training, said the bruises were making it difficult for her to model in photo shoots.
The Jerusalem Post reported that Nezri, 18, had been granted an exemption by her commanders during her two-year army stint.
