Overview

• During a traffic stop in Rechasim, police flagged a yeshiva student as a deserter and detained him, then released him after crowds mobilized via community hotlines and pressed officers to back down.
• Military police attempted arrests in Netivot and Kiryat Ata earlier this week, but protesters converged and the operations ended without detentions.
• Kol Chai Radio reported that a chareidi high school girl was detained at Ben Gurion Airport over documentation issues, transferred to a military prison, and had spent two nights there as of Tuesday.
• Shas MK Michael Malchieli condemned the airport detention as an IDF technical error and urged an investigation into how it occurred.
• Community journalists say enforcement has largely hit Sephardi students, while an IDF source denied deliberate targeting and cited a focus on mixed neighborhoods rather than strictly chareidi cities.
