Haredi Protest Erupts in Modi'in After Military Police Move to Arrest Draft Dodger, Police Announce
The protesters were summoned by the Jerusalem Faction hotline, which activists say helps draft dodgers evade arrest as enforcement efforts expand.
- Hundreds of ultra-Orthodox protesters rioted overnight Monday in Modi, besieging Military Police who arrived to arrest a draft dodger and forcing the operation to end without an arrest.
- The Jerusalem Faction's 'Black Color' hotline summons activists to block arrests, with organizers openly stating they send protesters to force military operations to end without custody.
- Despite High Court requirements, the IDF rarely conducts proactive arrests, with military officials citing insufficient cooperation from Israel Police. Police deployed large forces to 'extract the soldiers and restore public order.'
- Moti Leitner, chairman of the Haredi Public Party, sharply condemned the violence, saying, 'The place for these savages is behind bars.'
- Tensions escalate as thousands marched in Jerusalem last week carrying signs calling the IDF the 'enemy army,' while Coalition politicians have declined to address accusations against the military.
