TOPSHOT - Ultra-Orthodox Jewish men dance as they celebrate the release from military prison of a fellow yeshiva student, who was detained for not appearing after being called up for Israeli military service, in Elad on August 31, 2026. Israel's Supreme Court suspended in July a contentious law passed earlier that month that would have blocked the arrest of Jewish ultra-Orthodox men who refuse military service. Leaders of the insular ultra-Orthodox community have long opposed the conscription of its members, arguing that army service would pull young men away from religious study and erode their way of life. But calls to draft them have intensified in recent years as Israel has become embroiled in multiple wars.
