In a parallel world to the protests: the IDF anticipates that the number of ultra-Orthodox recruits in the current draft year will exceed 3,500.

The exact figure will be determined very soon (at the end of the 2025 draft year). This is still below the targets, but for comparison, here are the figures from the previous two years:

In the 2024 draft year, about 2,800 ultra-Orthodox recruits enlisted. In the 2023 cohort – only about 2,200.
