An Education Ministry representative told a Knesset discussion on educational responses for dropout youth in Judea and Samaria farms that teens who were removed from eligibility lists for participating in protests or operations are unable to enlist, and appealed to the IDF Education and Youth Corps to help locate them.
In a Knesset Education Committee discussion on educational frameworks for dropout youth at farms in Judea and Samaria, an Education Ministry representative described a recurring pattern: teens tell her they desperately want to enlist but were struck off IDF eligibility lists due to their participation in protests or security operations.
The official appealed directly to the military's Education and Youth Corps representative, who responded that the corps is actively looking for these youths and wants to be part of the reintegration process.
The discussion continues the committee's focus on the hilltop youth issue, following earlier testimony from the Welfare Ministry's official, who told the same forum that teens arrive at these outposts for varying reasons ranging from Zionist ideology to personal escape.
A single source — the ministry representative's on-record statement during the committee hearing — grounds this report; no further details on the scale or exact mechanism of the removals were disclosed in the exchange.
