A trained soldier is a trained soldier, no matter what. The Isrealis fight more, and may have better training, but the Ghurkas are better physically fit, since they live in a high-altitude area, which boosts their red blood cells, making them faster, and much more agile. Not to mention, their weapons are still better.
