Israeli military has for years inflated the number of ultra-Orthodox recruits in order to reach the conscription targets for Haredi soldiers, Israel's national broadcaster KAN reported Wednesday.
"The IDF recently discovered a mistake when it comes to the number of the ultra-Orthodox soldiers,” said the army in a statement. “When we became aware of the mistake, we learned our lesson when it comes to the criteria for counting the ultra-Orthodox soldiers."
