The IDF is considering establishing hundreds of new prison spaces for Chareidi draft dodgers.
The IDF announced late last week that it is preparing to begin sending 54,000 conscription orders to bnei yeshivos as early as Tuesday, July 8.
However, the army has not yet decided whether to send all the orders at once, on the same day, or to divide the sending of the orders into several stages until the end of July in order to comply with the letter of the law.
One of the problems that the IDF is facing is the lack of military prison spaces to implement the enforcement of the draft orders. The IDF’s detention facility has room for hundreds of prisoners, far less than the estimated tens of thousands of Chareidi draft dodgers.
124NEWS quoted a security source as saying, “We will not be able to achieve effective enforcement.”
At the same time, the IDF is seeking quick solutions, including the establishment of hundreds of new detention facilities—subject to the budget it will receive for the issue.

Perhaps special accommodations for those encouraging illegal behavior
What about the recent agreement in the Knesset?
After spending billions on the recent war with Iran and in Gaza, they still have spare money to jail tens of thousands bnei Torah?!
Let’s demand kosher lmehadrin prison space with no women. As in cities of refuge, rebbeim should go there too to make sure bochurim continue learning.
I think they should release the thousands of innocent Palestinian freedom fighters to make room for the real criminals
It’s interesting that the secular Israeli government has not changed in their war against religious Jews once 1948. The only things that change are the issues. Destroying the yeminite Jewish kids,forced autopsies,digging up ancient graves,public shabbos violations,toeiva parades,abortions on demand.
Should be lots of space from all the terrorists they let go. Isn’t that what their goal was, to imprison Jews instead of Arabs
