Israel is unwilling to commit ground troops. Perhaps because they are having a hard time finding enough people who are able to become combat trigger pullers - most young men are Ultra Conservatives and exempt.
It's well past time that Israel told the Ultra-Orthodox that they need to serve in the military under the same terms as everyone else. Maybe as incentive, withdraw all military from Ultra-Orthodox communities, hand them rifles, and tell them they are responsible for their own protection.
