According to a report by Yaakov Hershkovitz, 230 members of Haredi families enlisted on the most recent recruitment day, which took place about a week and a half ago. The enlistment occurred amid the ongoing military police campaign to enforce conscription for the Haredi community.
Yaakov Hershkovitz reported Tuesday morning that 230 members of Haredi families enlisted on the last recruitment day, about a week and a half ago. The figure comes amid a broader military police campaign to enforce the Security Service Law for the Haredi community, which has seen dozens of Haredi men arrested and held in military prison.
As The Zioneer has previously reported, over 120 alleged draft dodgers were assigned to Haredi service tracks earlier this month. At one point, 47 yeshiva students and married scholars were held in Military Prison 4. The IDF has also reported a rise in Haredi enlistment, with 3,500 enlisting this year, according to a military representative.
The new report suggests that the enforcement campaign may be contributing to increased enlistment, though the number of 230 on a single recruitment day represents a notable surge. The data remains unverified and comes from a single source.
