Ultra-Orthodox Jews clash with Israeli police over army draft

Al Jazeera English6 hours ago3:35

In Israel, a group of ultra-Orthodox Jews, known as Haredi, have been disrupting traffic near a military conscription office, east of Tel Aviv. They tried to stop new recruits from arriving at a base. Police intervened and forcefully removed them. In mid-2024, Israel's Supreme Court overturned a longstanding-policy of exempting Jewish seminary students from military conscription. It's been a divisive topic in Israeli society and politics ever since. Al Jazeera’s Nour Odeh reports from Ramallah in the occupied West Bank.
