Immigration & Aliyah
Will I have to do military service if I make Aliyah?
Israeli citizens (including new olim) are generally subject to mandatory military service. However, olim who immigrate after age 22 (or 24 for women) are typically exempt from regular service and serve only in the reserve. Specific exemptions and alternatives (national service) exist for various groups. You should clarify your status with the IDF upon arrival.
