- This follows two similar attempted arrests the night before.
- Around 50 students are currently in military prison.
An attempt to arrest a yeshiva student near the Paz-Halyarkon gas station on Namir Road in Tel Aviv early Friday morning ended with hundreds of students blocking the road and dancing. The incident occurred around 5:00 AM when authorities tried to apprehend the student and transfer him to military police. Within minutes, hundreds of yeshiva students arrived, successfully freeing the individual and subsequently blocking Namir Road, causing a large gathering.
The students then began dancing and singing on the road in the early morning hours. This event follows two similar attempted arrests of yeshiva students the previous night. One attempt took place on Highway 2 near the Poleg interchange, and another on Highway 60 at the Ali junction. In both of those instances, protesters arrived, and the students were eventually released.
Meanwhile, aid organizations report that approximately 50 students were held in military prison on Hoshana Rabbah and are expected to observe the Simchat Torah holiday in detention, away from their peers and yeshivas.
