מה קרה

A Hebrew opinion column says hesder yeshiva rabbis are exploiting the IDF’s dependence on organized manpower to press their anti-mixed-combat stance. It links the episode to the war that began on October 7 and to earlier protest-era leverage inside the army. The piece argues the IDF is moving from a “people’s army” to a weaker institution pulled apart by competing camps.

• 01The IDF declined to confront hesder yeshiva rabbis over women in combat units.
• 02The article says the war since October 7 has deepened a culture fight over the army.
• 03Religious Zionist and Haredi pressures exploit the IDF’s manpower shortage.
• 04The writer compares this to organized leverage during the judicial overhaul protests.
• 05The piece says calls to draft everyone ignore the army’s structural weakness.
