Graduation Ceremony For Ultra-Orthodox Soldiers

JERUSALEM, ISRAEL - MAY 26: (ISRAEL OUT) Ultra-Orthodox Israelis prepare prior to a military graduation ceremony on May 26, 2013 in Jerusalem, Israel. The Netzah Yehuda battalion was formed in 1999 with the aim of creating a unit which would allow ultra-othodox Israelis to take a role in the military. Traditionally exempted from compulsory conscription, Government plans to invoke compulsory drafts for ultra-Othodox to military service has led to violent protests and the subsequent postponement of public graduation ceremonies in recent days.
