Israeli court mandates ultra-Orthodox men military draft amid Gaza conflict
Summary: Israel's supreme court unanimously rules to draft ultra-Orthodox men for military service, potentially causing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition government to collapse amid ongoing Gaza conflict. Exemptions for ultra-Orthodox men have long been a source of tension, with over 600 Israeli soldiers killed in the conflict. The court found the state's selective enforcement violated the rule of law. About 13,000 ultra-Orthodox males reach conscription age annually, but less than 10% enlist.
