Overview

• Rabbi Moshe Hillel Hirsch, joined by Rabbis Abraham Salim and Moshe Maya, visited three draft-refusing yeshiva students at Military Prison 10 under an eight-day exception to regular visitation rules.
• The IDF launched a comprehensive inquiry after admitting that Rabbi Dov Lando’s unsanctioned visit last Thursday set a precedent for this weekend’s approved entries to avoid conflicts.
• Military spokespeople said the expedited visit aimed to confirm that detainees received kosher meals and had proper time for prayer.
• Before heading to the prison, Rabbi Hirsch met with Rabbi Dov Lando in Jerusalem to develop proposals for expanded protest actions against Haredi conscription.
• Those protest proposals have been forwarded to relevant professional authorities as the Haredi leadership continues to coordinate its resistance to mandatory military service.
