A summary of the latest draft year in Israel reveals that haredi (ultra-Orthodox) individuals account for approximately 80% of all draft dodgers. In response, the Attorney General is demanding expanded sanctions and the resumption of proactive arrests to address the issue. The report highlights the disproportionate representation of the haredi community among those evading mandatory military service, a topic of ongoing political and social debate in Israel. The Attorney General's demand signals a potential escalation in enforcement measures against draft evasion.
