Massive Protest Against Israeli Draft Shuts Down Jerusalem | צילומי רחפן: זעקת התורה מעמד רבבות אלפי ישראל

Hundreds of thousands of Orthodox Jewish Israelis are taking part in a protest in Jerusalem against changes to a legal exemption for religious students from conscription in the military.

Since the founding of Israel, students enrolled full-time at a religious school, or yeshiva, have been exempted from conscription, although some other members of the community do serve in the military.
