- The Attorney General's Office informed the High Court of Justice about the draft evasion numbers.

- This follows a failed operation to arrest yeshiva students evading service.
The Attorney General's Office has informed the High Court of Justice (Bagatz) that the number of draft dodgers from the IDF has reached over 110,000. The majority of these individuals are from the Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) public. This figure was presented in the context of a failed operation to arrest yeshiva students who evade military service. The Attorney General is calling for additional measures, specifically the "revocation of economic benefits" for those who do not enlist, as a means to address the significant evasion rate.
