The Israeli Defense Force is overhauling its program for male immigrants who join the army in their mid-20s, in an effort to better utilize their skills and encourage aliyah by offering rewarding positions during their mandatory army service.
Officials say that they are responding to the population shifts in new immigrant populations, according to the Jerusalem Post. The overall number of newcomers has dropped, but the number of immigrants from France, Great Britain and America has increased.
"The makeup of new olim today has changed," a senior officer in the IDF Human Resources Department told the Post Thursday. "We are aware of this and are working to make the necessary changes so we can better utilize the soldiers and their skills."
