Official summary of the law (Knesset)

The Defense Service Law regulates the duty of service and the length of regular service in the Israel Defense Forces. Under previous amendments to the Law, it was established that the length of service for men conscripted starting 1 July 2024 would be shortened to 30 months instead of 32 months. Now, in light of the "Swords of Iron" war and the operational need that arose as a result, it was established under the Defense Service Law (Amendment No. 29 – Temporary Provision), 2026, as a temporary provision until 30 June 2029, that the period of regular service of a male conscript will be 32 months, instead of 30 months. It was further established that this extension will also apply to every conscript already in regular service on the date of the Law's publication. In addition, in order to balance the harm to the reliance interest of soldiers who were conscripted for shortened service and whose service is now being extended, the Law establishes a dedicated compensation mechanism: a conscript who was originally called up for regular service of 30 months will be paid increased subsistence allowance for the thirty-first month through the end of the thirty-second month of their service. In this regard, the Law establishes that a person called up for service during the period from 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2025 will be entitled, in their 31st and 32nd months of service, to subsistence allowance at double the rate set under the military ordinances; whereas for soldiers called up for service during the period from 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2026, their subsistence allowance during these months will be increased by 75%.
