The IDF talks about the importance of recruiting ultra-Orthodox, but not really doing much to recruit them - voila! News. Since the beginning of the war, the IDF has faced a severe manpower shortage.
However, out of each yearbook of approximately 12,000 recruits of conscription age, only 10% enlist on average. In recent years, it was reported, instead of an increase, there has been a very moderate decrease in certain formations. The army invests its best efforts in encouraging the recruitment of Jewish youth.
