Israel has started listing Ultra-Orthodox of draft age due to the nation’s multi-front engagement in war in Gaza for over two years and ground operations in Lebanon. But, the Ultra-Orthodox jews who supported Benjamin Netanyahu’s alliance are not happy with the move. 

According to a CNN report, the Israeli authorities have sent over 3000 draft orders to Ultra-Orthodox jews. Israeli defence minister Israel Katz said that they would send 7000 fresh draft orders.
