Army delays pre-conscription meetings
The Israeli military says it is postponing all pre-conscription meetings until a later date due to the coronavirus.
The Israel Defense Forces typically requires all Israeli citizens who are subject to the draft to go through a series of physical and mental examinations in order to determine their level of fitness for military service in a process typically referred to in Hebrew as a tzav rishon, literally a “first order.”
The military says these assessments will be delayed until further notice, as it seeks to limit the spread of the disease.
