FILE - In this Oct. 19, 2017 file photo, Israeli police scuffle with ultra-Orthodox Jews as they block a main road during a protest against Israeli army conscription, in Jerusalem. The Israeli military said Thursday, Feb. 20, 2020, that it found “serious, systemic failures” in its own reporting that inflated figures on the enlistment of ultra-Orthodox Jews, a hot-button issue in a country where most Jewish men are subject to mandatory conscription. Military draft exemptions for ultra-Orthodox men have long been a source of resentment among Israel’s Jewish secular majority, who are required to serve. The issue is expected to be key in upcoming March 2 elections. (AP Photo/Ariel Schalit, File)
