The offer is open to more than 14,000 people who did not answer their draft notices or are officially considered deserters
The IDF announced Sunday that it is beginning a five-day campaign in which draft dodgers can enlist in the army without any penalties.
Called “Starting Over,” the army is billing the move as a “one-time opportunity to turn over a new page” and begin meaningful service in the role most suitable for each person, whether in a combat position, combat-support role or noncombat job.
During this amnesty period, “anyone who proves that they want to enlist for full service in the IDF immediately and are qualified to do so will be able to regularize their status without arrest or imprisonment,” the IDF said.
