Israel Has 110,000 Draft Evaders
The number of Israeli draft evaders has risen to around 110,000, of whom approximately 80% are ultra-Orthodox (Haredi) Jews. This comes after the population increased from about 75,000 at the beginning of 2026, despite Supreme Court rulings emphasizing the need to enforce the law and impose penalties on draft evaders. Recruitment measures face political and security obstacles, as Haredi parties demand exemptions for students of religious institutes, while the military warns of a shortage in personnel. Additionally, government officials are delaying the implementation of decisions to withhold transportation discounts and property taxes from eligible individuals, even though such measures could encourage Haredi youth to join the military service.
