Snippet:
An official IDF social media channel should never sound like a guide for avoiding the consequences of ignoring a draft order. Yet that is how a video published Wednesday on the IDF's haredi-facing Instagram account reasonably came across. The clip told haredi (ultra-Orthodox) men facing travel restrictions that a “brief visit” to a recruitment office with medical documents could prevent an arrest at Ben-Gurion Airport before a trip to Uman.
