Prison 10 Clash Caps Surge in Arrests of Chareidi Draft Evaders as IDF Vows to Press On

Legal directives combined with Uman travel pressures are driving intensified enforcement that senior officers call resource‑draining.

Overview

  • Outside Prison 10, protesters blocked a van carrying roughly 20 detainees, clashes ensued, and one detainee escaped, according to the IDF and local reports.
  • The IDF said stones and tear gas were used near Kfar Yona during the confrontation, lightly injuring two soldiers and drawing a statement condemning attacks on personnel.
  • Airport checks intensified with about 25 detentions at Ben Gurion over two days, pushing reported military custody to roughly 70, with additional voluntary surrenders not counted in that figure.
  • A traffic‑stop detention in Rechasim was reversed after hotline‑driven crowds converged, underscoring rapid community mobilization to obstruct arrests.
  • Manpower chief Maj. Gen. Dado Bar‑Kalifa told lawmakers the campaign expends significant resources and seldom produces conscription, yet enforcement will continue under legal orders and likely increase with Uman departures.
