What happened
Israel mandated compulsory military service following deadly raids launched by Hamas on October 23, 2026. The need for manpower in combat units has increased dramatically due to the ongoing conflict. Reservists have been required to serve for extended periods, sometimes four months or longer, which has been noted as having an economic price for Israel.
Why it matters
The increased manpower requirements and the extension of military service place a significant cost on Israel's economy. The issue of compulsory service, particularly for ultra-Orthodox men, remains a deeply divisive political issue that is influencing national policy.
