Haze'evot

Haze'evot (Hebrew: הזאבות‎, translation: The She-Wolves) is an Israeli rock band. The band members are Yifat Balassiano, Moran Saranga, Rony Shefer and Talia Ishai. The band's songs dub the female point of view on different social issues such as relationships, sexual harassment and sex, a voice uncommon which is seldom heard in the mostly male-dominated Israeli music scene.[1][2][3]
