Israeli security forces are preparing to implement an unprecedented enforcement plan against members of the haredi public who refuse to enlist.
As part of the new plan, which will be launched next month, checkpoints will be set up at entry points to major haredi cities, aiming to identify and arrest youths avoiding military service.
The plan follows the decision to send 54,000 draft orders to haredi youths in the coming year.
IDF security officials estimate that the vast majority of those receiving orders will choose not to report, leading to a dramatic increase in the number defined as deserters. The number is expected to spike from a few thousand today to tens of thousands within a year.
The plan includes a significant shortening of the process of classifying someone as a deserter. What was a process that took many months will be condensed to approximately two months. After this period, anyone who does not report to the draft offices will be considered a deserter and will be subject to arrest and criminal prosecution.
The new checkpoints will be positioned at several strategic locations: entrances to major haredi cities such as Bnei Brak, Jerusalem, and Beit Shemesh, main traffic routes used by the haredi population, and border crossings, including Ben Gurion Airport and checkpoints in Judea and Samaria.
In addition to the permanent checkpoints, mobile enforcement actions and targeted raids on religious institutions and residential areas will be carried out.
Security officials are aware of the logistical challenges they face. The military detention system can accommodate only about 300 detainees at a time, a negligible number compared to the potential tens of thousands of expected deserters.
Therefore, the plan focuses on selective enforcement and creating a deterrent effect, with the expectation that politicians will reinforce the operation with legislative sanctions against deserters.

No need to put anyone in jail. The simple solution is that someone classed as a deserter loses all government benefits including health care and passports. They are forbidden from acquiring or renting lodgings. The police do not respond to their calls.
Meanwhile the Arab citizens of pitch in nothing.
To: Anonymous, can you think of a reason why Arabs would not be drafted?
No. I can not think of any MORAL argument for forcing Haredim to either serve or do national service that would not be true for Arabs as well. The arguments for making that distinction all boil down to believing it will be easier to force and bully the Hareidim to serve than the Arabs . The Hareidim for their part are not morally obligated to actually make it easier. If the government were to start arresting Yeshiva Bochurim and throwing them into jail and the Haredi community would respond violently it would be self defense. They already are treated far worse than Arabs for not serving. And unlike Arabs they have ZERO representation on the supreme court where this decision was made. And unlike Arabs are almost guaranteed the Supreme Court who made this decision would rule against them on ANY issue involving them.
Thomas, if they aren't going to be drafted, they can still do other service. And if not that, why oppressively punish charaidem while still giving Arabs so much money ?

You are totally disconnected to reality!
You cannot think "of any Moral argument for forcing Hareidim"?"
Are you insane? Are you frum?
You want Arabs to protect us? Mamesh meturaf!
Charedim all learned the Mishna that in a "milcemes Mitzavah" even a bride under the Chupa gets drafted!
Guys!
Listen to this sick perversion of reasoning! Equating Arabs to Charedim !
How low did you sink?
4:04
Sick sick dope! Go get help!
Equating Arabs to Charedim! Again, this sick pervert wants Arabs to protect Jews!
How utterly insane!
And get benefits Jews don't even have
Do you want every young male and female Arab walking around Yerushalayim with their large weapons . How long do you think before there would be a blood bath.? Do you want Jewish soldiers sleeping, eating, and planning attacks against terrorists with Arabs in their battalion? How long do you think it will take before they betray their buddies? Lucky we have Jewish Chilonim and Frum Israeli officers who are a lot smarter than you making decisions related to national security.
Did your "brilliant" rabbi or your great "thinker" Mashgiach come up with this equivalence between Arabs and Chareidiem?
Tell those dopes, that we give money to the Arabs to keep them happy and quiet so they they don't murder and rape us, most of the Arabs can no longer work in Israel proper and are unemployed and Arab countries want to keep them poor so they riot! This "bribe" helps a little bit in our war against terrorism, believe me, it's a small price to pay!
Tell your dumb rabbi to shut the hell up and support the State and the IDF!
What about all the protesters on Kaplan St.? Why aren't they being drafted?
6:25
When was the last time you passed by a protest on Kaplan Street?
They are mostly seniors, alte kockers!
Either way, Charediem need to go to the army!
