🇮🇱 285 ULTRA-ORTHODOX MEN ENLIST IN THE IDF IN JUST ONE WEEK
The IDF reports that 285 young Haredi men enlisted over the past week, joining combat support roles.
Additional enlistment rounds are scheduled for November and December, including placements in combat units.
The military says it has prepared dedicated frameworks allowing recruits to serve while maintaining their religious way of life.
The IDF continues working to expand Haredi participation in military service as Israel faces growing security demands.
Serving the country and maintaining a Haredi lifestyle are not mutually exclusive.
