About 100 ultra-Orthodox Jews have blocked an intersection near the military recruitment office in northern Israel’s Tel HaShomer neighborhood in Ramat Gan, protesting the first draft orders sent to them.
This is according to Israel’s Army Radio.
We have reported earlier that about 1,000 ultra-Orthodox Jews were due to receive draft orders today after a recent Israeli Supreme Court ruling which found they were not exempt from military service, according to The Times of Israel.
