The Supreme Court of Israel has ruled, 9-0, that Ultra-Orthodox men may no longer be exempted from mandatory military service and that financial assistance must be withheld from religious schools that do not cooperate. Details here, from The New York Times. The decision in Movement for the Quality of Gov't in Israel v. Minister of Defence can be found here. (Use Google Translate.)
