Hashmonaim Brigade

Expecting a large-scale recruitment, the Haredi brigade prepared to open two companies and assembled double command teams. However, data reaching the IDF indicated only about 100 recruits, leading to the decision to open only one company.

An MDA volunteer was brought onto the Haredi brigade's base during the President's visit on the eve of Tisha B'Av. Her entry violated brigade procedures and IDF General Staff orders.
