The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the Police have admitted in a discussion with representatives of the Attorney General that they have not carried out proactive arrests of draft evaders in recent months, contrary to a High Court of Justice ruling. A summary document from the discussion stated that no proactive enforcement had occurred for two months, and that the number of random arrests of those obligated to enlist amounted to 10.
The admission came during a discussion concerning the enforcement of military conscription laws. The court had previously ruled that proactive measures should be taken to apprehend draft evaders. However, the IDF and Police acknowledged that this directive was not followed for a period of two months. The limited enforcement that did occur involved random arrests, totaling 10 individuals who were obligated to enlist but had evaded service.
