This evening, about 100 Haredi protesters gathered outside the home of the new director of the Ma'alot Tzur program in Moshav Komemiyut, a community in southern Israel. The program is designed to integrate Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) men into the IDF through tailored service tracks. The protesters, who arrived via organized buses, shouted slogans and distributed pamphlets opposing the director and his role in the enlistment initiative.
The protest highlights ongoing tensions over Haredi military service in Israel. The Zioneer has previously reported on demonstrations in Jerusalem and a planned protest in Elad against officials involved in the enlistment effort.
The director of the Ma'alot Tzur program was not named in the report. The protest was reported by Eli Hirschman.
