In a historic ceremony held this morning (Sunday) at the Border Police training school in Beit Horon, 31 ultra-Orthodox soldiers completed their training, marking a new chapter in the integration of the ultra-Orthodox community into Israel\u2019s security forces. The division, called “Avnet,” is the first of its kind in the force\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

The four-month training course included all standard components of Border Police training, such as combat in urban and open areas, first aid, policing authority, physical fitness, Krav Maga, riot control, and the use of advanced technologies. The training was also adapted to the unique needs of the ultra-Orthodox soldiers, with time allocated for prayer and religious studies, accompanied by Border Police rabbis.<\/p>\n

Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir emphasized the significance of the program as a “strategic move of immense importance” symbolizing national unity. He highlighted the considerable efforts invested in opening this path, allowing ultra-Orthodox youth to enlist while maintaining a supportive religious environment.<\/p>\n

Border Police Commander, Brigadier General Brick Yitzhak, described the program as a “new milestone for the force and Israeli society,” highlighting the mutual responsibility within Israeli society. He expressed hope that this cohort would pave the way for future recruits.<\/p>\n

Starting next week, the division will join Border Police forces in the Jerusalem envelope, where they will be involved in missions to protect the city, prevent the entry of illegal infiltrators, and combat terrorism. The inclusion of ultra-Orthodox in the Israel Police and Border Police is part of a broader government policy aimed at integrating the ultra-Orthodox community into the security forces and the labor market.<\/p>\n

\nThe graduation ceremony marks a significant step in bridging gaps in Israeli society and strengthening the internal security apparatus while preserving religious traditions and values.<\/p>\n

This is not the first time that ultra-Orthodox officers have participated in a Border Police induction ceremony. Two weeks ago, at a ceremony held at Rachel’s Tomb, 13 ultra-Orthodox combat soldiers were certified for Border Police service following a unique five-week training program. The program combines operational training with adjustments for the ultra-Orthodox lifestyle, marking an important step in integrating the ultra-Orthodox community into Israel’s security forces.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
