Israel: a majority of ultra-Orthodox categorically refuse to enlist in the army

Israel a majority of ultra Orthodox categorically refuse to enlist in

In Israel, everyone has their own war, everyone has their own fight. The ultra-Orthodox Jewish community has always lived apart. “Only prayer and the study of the Torah will bring salvation,” believe these religious Jews. Just ten days ago, they were fighting to obtain the renewal of a military exemption law. While the country currently mobilizes 360,000 reservists, it is out of the question for the majority of ultra-Orthodox to enlist in the army, like the rest of the Israeli population.
