Ashkenazi says number of national service participants
None
Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi visited the IDF induction base ahead of the August recruits to combat units. He said that despite the increased motivation to serve in combat units, service should be extended among broader sectors of Israeli society via the national service model.
"We must move from the model of mandatory service to the model of duty to serve," said Ashkenazi. (Hanan Greenberg)
