Various people were triumphantly crowing about a report by the Knesset’s Research and Information center at the behest of a Likud MK. The report stated that since Oct. 7th, 4000 charedim had submitted requests to enlist in the IDF, and the IDF rejected 3,120 for a wide range of reasons, mainly “medical unsuitability”. Of those 880 found to be fit for conscription, only 540 were actually absorbed by the IDF - representing just 13.5% of those seeking to enlist.
