The Israeli government is considering extending an emergency law, that delays the age military reservists can retire from the service.
That's as a committee is discussing making conscription mandatory for ultra-Orthodox religious students.

Meron Rapoport, an editor at Local Call, an Israeli news outlet, has told Al Jazeera that the Israeli army needs more personnel after suffering heavy losses throughout the war on Gaza and in cross-border attacks with Hezbollah.

Rapaport added that the decision not to conscript the ultra-Orthodox is “extremely popular” among the public as the war continues.
