The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has initiated the first recruitment cycle for its new ultra-Orthodox brigade, known as the Hasmonean Brigade. Approximately 50 ultra-Orthodox soldiers have been drafted, forming the core of the brigade's first company. In addition to these recruits, another 100 older ultra-Orthodox men are also being enlisted into the brigade. This recruitment marks a significant step in integrating the ultra-Orthodox community into the military, which has faced challenges in encouraging enlistment among this demographic.
