Overview

• The campaign runs from Aug. 17 to Aug. 21 as a one-time opportunity to waive past evasion penalties for those who enlist immediately.
• Individuals must register online, report to recruitment offices and start basic training on the same day in rear, support or combat roles based on suitability.
• The IDF currently records about 14,600 draft evaders and anticipates a sharp rise when official notices are sent to haredi men.
• Enlistees secure temporary amnesty for past infractions but face prosecution for any future absence, covering both new and prior violations.
• Commanders say enlisting even a few hundred people would fulfill the campaign’s modest success threshold.
