A very high percentage of Israelis go into the army or otherwise do some national service. The Israeli army service produces lifetime friendships to an extent greater than that of other countries. This is possibly because of the intensity of the operations (you tend to remember someone who saved you life or got you out of a life threatening situation).
Army friends then do stuff together after the army. One thing they do together is start businesses or business lines within an existing business and then recruit their friends.
Israeli men in the army like younger women (age 18-24) so slightly older women don't generally go in the army. However the women that do go into the army become 'buddies' also. How much intimacy is involved is anyone's guess.
