\n

An estimated 200,000 Ultra-Orthodox protesters converged on Jerusalem Thursday, opposing the country’s military draft, resulting in dozens of injuries during confrontations with the police.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Israel\u2019s emergency service Magen David Adom reported 56 people were injured. A police officer was also wounded after being hit by stones thrown by demonstrators.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The rally shut down major roads leading into the capital, as protesters from across the country gathered to oppose efforts to conscript ultra-Orthodox, or Haredi, men into the Israel Defense Forces. At times, the demonstration turned violent as officers moved to clear blocked highways and restore order.<\/p>\n

ISRAEL\u2019S GAZA OFFENSIVE SPARKS FIERCE CLASH OVER ULTRA-ORTHODOX MILITARY DRAFT<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

At the heart of the unrest is a long-standing exemption that allows ultra-Orthodox men who study full-time in religious seminaries to avoid military service \u2014 a policy that many Israelis view as deeply unfair.<\/p>\n

Military service is mandatory for most Jewish men and women, but Haredi Jews have historically been exempt, a privilege dating back to Israel\u2019s founding. They argue that their way of life \u2014 centered around Torah study and religious community \u2014 is incompatible with full military service. They fear that conscription will undermine their religious identity, expose them to secular values and erode the distinct community structures they\u2019ve built.<\/p>\n

ISRAEL’S NETANYAHU HOLDS ON TO POWER, ATTEMPT TO DISSOLVE GOVERNMENT FALLS SHORT<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

With Israel<\/a> fighting wars on multiple fronts over the past two years, the military has faced growing manpower shortages, prompting renewed efforts to end the exemption. The Supreme Court ruled last year that the arrangement was unconstitutional, ordering the government to pass a new conscription law.<\/p>\n

That ruling has shaken Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu\u2019s coalition. His ultra-Orthodox allies<\/a> \u2014 the Shas and United Torah Judaism parties \u2014 quit the government in July, accusing him of betraying their religious base. Parliament has yet to agree on a compromise acceptable to both the Haredi leadership and the military.<\/p>\n

Opposition leaders condemned the violence. Yair Lapid wrote on X, “If you can march in the streets, you can march in basic training and defend the State of Israel.” Benny Gantz added, referring to a video of a female reporter being attacked, “There is nothing Jewish about this behavior.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
