Dozens of Breslov Hasidim Detained at Ben Gurion Airport Trying to Reach Uman
Airport authorities reported that six conscription-eligible individuals attempting to leave Israel were apprehended by security teams at Ben Gurion Airport. Two were stopped at Terminal 1 and four at Terminal 3. The six were transferred to the Population and Immigration Authority, where it was discovered they had outstanding military draft orders preventing their departure.
In a separate incident, dozens of Breslov Hasidim were detained at the airport as they attempted to fly to Uman for the Rosh Hashanah holiday. Their departure was halted after it was revealed they had failed to report for military service and had outstanding draft orders.
Additionally, several Hasidim were apprehended at the Taba border crossing, attempting to travel through Egypt to Europe and then onward to Uman. These individuals also faced issues with outstanding military service obligations.
