Israeli Army – ‘Not For Me’

The Israeli military has issued 1,126 arrest warrants for Israeli ultra-Orthodox settlers after they failed to show up at military service induction centers.

Due to the losses incurred in the Israeli multi-front wars on Gaza and Lebanon, the Israeli military attempted to draft ultra-Orthodox settlers to make up for the shortage.

Israeli occupation forces have been attempting to draft settlers from the ultra-Orthodox community for several months; however, the vast majority of those called up have evaded service, arguing that military service would clash with their religious beliefs and have consistently avoided call-ups, fearing ‘secularization.’
