Dr. Aaron Lerner Date: 27 January 2012

Makor Rishon correspondent Yochai Ofer reports in the 26 January edition
that Makor Rishon finds that today over 40% of those serving in the IDF
Nahal Haredi program for ultra-orthodox are from the national religious camp
rather than ultra-orthodox.

The Ministry of Defense responded to Makor Rishon that in the last group 70%
came from the ultra-orthodox community in Israel and another 8% from
ultra-orthodox communities overseas.

The IDF Spokesperson responded to Makor Rishon that the mix set for Nahal
Haredi was from the start 70% ultra-orthodox and 30% national religious and
that this mix has been maintained over the years.
