Police are managing public disorder that erupted in Modi'in on Tuesday, following an operation by military police to apprehend a draft dodger. Numerous police forces are on the scene working to extract the soldiers and restore public order, according to a police statement. The unrest involved ultra-Orthodox individuals protesting the military police's actions. The specific number of individuals involved in the protest or the exact nature of the disruption were not detailed in the initial report, but the police presence indicates a significant disturbance.
The operation to arrest the draft dodger is part of ongoing efforts by Israeli authorities to enforce military conscription laws, which apply to most Jewish men and women in Israel. While the vast majority of Israelis serve in the military, a significant portion of the ultra-Orthodox community receives exemptions, though there are ongoing debates and legal challenges regarding the extent of these exemptions and the obligation of all eligible citizens to serve.
