IDF Continues Draft Enforcement Campaign as Haredi Protests Swell

Rising detentions have escalated tensions with Haredi communities, fueling domestic rallies and planned international solidarity demonstrations

Overview

  • Military police detained yeshiva students at Ben Gurion Airport, conducted an overnight raid in Bat Yam and arrested another in Kiryat Ata under draft-evasion orders
  • Thousands of Haredi worshipers and rabbinic leaders have rallied nightly outside Military Prison 10, with roshei yeshiva organizing prayer vigils in support of the detainees
  • Satmar and other rabbinic networks have called for a mass Manhattan protest next Monday, framing the demonstration as an international show of solidarity
  • Senior IDF figures held talks with Va’ad Hayeshivos leadership amid contested reports of a frozen Bein HaZmanim operation that the army insists remains on schedule
  • Organizations such as Ezram U’Meginam are providing legal representation for arrestees, and unconfirmed briefings indicate detained students may be released within a week
