Many recruits come from countries like the United States, Russia, and Ukraine, along with new immigrants from more distant countries such as Barbados, Tajikistan, Nigeria, and Vietnam. Notably, 11.35% of the recruits come from preparatory programs and national service programs, demonstrating their significant contribution to the draft.<\/p>\n

The recruitment takes place at no fewer than five draft offices nationwide, with the main offices being Tel Hashomer (38.54%), Haifa (19.34%), and Jerusalem (17.94%).<\/p>\n

Regarding the equipment for new recruits, the IDF stated: “The IDF\u2019s Logistics and Technology Directorate has prepared to supply new recruits with tens of thousands of uniforms, berets, and boots, along with kits for each recruit (including sewing kits, shoe care kits, and more). Special provisions are also being made for vegan and vegetarian recruits, with dedicated berets and boots available for those who request them. The new recruits will also receive winter gear, including softshell jackets, neck warmers, and gloves.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
