Overview

• Military police activity intensified, with an avreich arrested on a highway and roughly 25 additional detentions at Ben Gurion Airport in recent days, as more than 70 chareidi men are reportedly held in military prison.
• A yeshiva student detained at a Rechasim traffic stop was released after large crowds converged and pressured police at the scene, according to local reports.
• Officers attempted home arrests in Netivot and Kiryat Ata this week, but rapid-response protesters arrived and the operations were halted without detentions.
• A chareidi high-school girl was arrested at the airport over an exemption paperwork issue attributed by radio reports to an IDF error, and a Shas lawmaker called for an investigation.
• Sephardi community figures allege disproportionate targeting of Sephardic students, while an IDF source denies intent and says operations focus on mixed neighborhoods rather than strictly chareidi cities.
