A man prays as Ultra-Orthodox Jewish men gather for a protest against a ruling by the Israeli High Court that they must be drafted into military service, in Jerusalem's Mea Sharim district on June 30, 2024. Most Jewish men and women in Israel must serve in the military, but since 1948 the insular ultra-Orthodox community has been granted draft exemptions so some students can continue yeshiva study. Over the years, the ultra-Orthodox, or Haredi, community has ballooned, and with it the number of exemptions. The new ruling could break up the right-wing coalition government and send the divided country to new elections. (Photo by AHMAD GHARABLI / AFP) (Photo by AHMAD GHARABLI/AFP via Getty Images)

An Israeli protester confront Ultra-Orthodox Jewish men outside an army recruiting office in the town of Kiryat Ono near Tel Aviv on March 5, 2024, during a demonstration against their exemption from serving in the army. Since the October 7 attack by Palestinian militants, the question surrounding whether the insular community, whose members see army service as conflicting with their religious duties, should be obligated to serve has sparked debate and led to protests against their decades-long exemptions.
