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.
