{Gdud Herev was formed in the early summer by incorporating a unit of Druze and small numbers of Bedouin, Circassians, and Christian Arabs. Druze and Circassian men are subject to mandatory conscription to the IDF. Druze leadership appealed to David Ben-Gurion, then Minister of Defense, to draft Druze men on the same basis as Jews.}
