Israeli Attorney General Reports Rise in Ultra-Orthodox Military Enlistment Despite High Draft Evasion
Israeli Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara revealed data during a discussion on enforcing military conscription and implementing Supreme Court decisions, showing an increase in enlistment among the ultra-Orthodox community. However, draft evasion remains widespread, with approximately 80% of all draft evaders coming from this group. According to Baharav-Miara, professional sources indicated that compared to the previous conscription year, issuing draft orders to all ultra-Orthodox eligible for service, intensified enforcement measures including economic and personal sanctions, and adapting service tracks have proven effective in raising enlistment numbers.
