IDF Reports Rise in Ultra-Orthodox Recruitment Amid Sanctions Impact
Representatives from the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) presented updated data to Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara on efforts to recruit ultra-Orthodox (Haredi) soldiers. The figures indicate that sanctions are influencing the situation on the ground, encouraging more young Haredim to enlist at recruitment centers (Baqo'am). According to the data, 70% of the recruits joined regular IDF units rather than those specifically designated for Haredi soldiers. However, less than a quarter of these recruits enlisted in combat roles. This information was shared during a recent briefing, highlighting the ongoing impact of legal and social measures on Haredi enlistment rates.
