Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said the Israeli army needs 10,000 new soldiers immediately, 4,800 of which can be recruited from the ultra-Orthodox community, according to Israeli Channel 12.
This follows the Israeli High Court's decision last week that ultra-Orthodox men can be drafted for military service, which sparked protests against conscription.
