Jerusalem Faction Plans Road Blockages After Yeshiva Student Gets 10 Days in Military Jail

The case, taken up by Am Kadosh lawyer Shlomo Hadad, marks the first comparable arrest reported since last month’s mass protest.

Overview

  • Maor Wazana, 18, was detained at 3 a.m. Friday at a gas station near Ma’ale Adumim after a police ID check flagged him as a draft evader.
  • He was taken to the Ma’ale Adumim police station, transferred by Military Police to the Anatot detention facility, then moved to Prison 10 in Kfar Yona.
  • A military judicial officer held a hearing shortly before the Sabbath and ordered a ten-day term in military detention.
  • The Jerusalem Faction announced plans Saturday night to demonstrate and block roads over the arrest, with no timetable yet given.
  • Family and associates say Wazana had not sought a deferment or reported to the draft office on rabbinic advice, and prior cases have triggered disruptive protests in Jerusalem and other cities.
