Israel's Supreme Court has ruled the country must begin drafting ultra-Orthodox men. The move puts an end to a decades old system that gave the group broad exemptions from military service. The ruling sparked protests today among members of the ultra Orthodox community.
Critics in Israel's secular Jewish majority have long been calling for the exemptions to end, saying it was discriminatory. The calls have only grown louder during the eight-month Gaza War as Israel has called up tens of thousands of soldiers.
