Recruitment days have begun across Israel for several ultra-Orthodox military tracks, including Hetz Company, Netzah Yehuda Battalion, and Hasmonaim Brigade, which have been active in the ongoing war.

The CEO of the Netzah Yehuda battalion has denied reports of the unit's suspension by IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir, following an altercation between reservist soldiers and CNN reporters, contradicting earlier claims of a suspension after the unit detained CNN journalists.
