Israeli Ultra-Orthodox Protest and Clash with Police Over Conscription Controversy

Reported 12 months ago

As the Gaza conflict continues to escalate, more and more young men and women in Israel are being drafted into the military. Following a court ruling that canceled exemptions for millions of Ultra-Orthodox Jews, protests erupted on the roads culminating in violent clashes with law enforcement. This move has caused turmoil within the Ultra-Orthodox community that traditionally enjoyed exemptions from military service, sparking fears of social unrest and challenging the government of Benjamin Netanyahu.
