Ultra-Orthodox Jews Vow to Defy Israeli Military Conscription Orders

The Israeli government has been ordered by its highest court to enlist draft-age ultra-Orthodox Jews into the military, ending a de facto exemption that has been in place since the country's founding 76 years ago. This decision has sparked widespread protests among the ultra-Orthodox community, with thousands of men taking to the streets in Jerusalem to demonstrate against the ruling. The protesters clashed with Israeli police, targeting an Israeli minister's car and engaging in violent confrontations.
