IDF deleted a haredi-facing Instagram video that appeared to advise draft evaders how to avoid airport arrest.
On August 27, 2026, the IDF posted a video on its haredi-facing Instagram account explaining how to regularize draft status, which critics said could be understood as a guide for evading travel restrictions. The IDF removed the video and stated it did not reflect military policy, was uploaded contrary to Spokesperson's Unit instructions during an election period, and would be investigated. The incident occurred amid an ongoing national debate over haredi conscription and unequal enforcement.
