An unusual incident occurred overnight in Modi'in when military police arrived at the home of a student from the 'Or Hachaim' yeshiva, headed by Rabbi Reuven Elbaz. The student, who is 20 days away from his wedding, was targeted for arrest as a "deserter." Following an alert from the 'Tzeva Shahor' system, hundreds of protesters were mobilized to the scene and successfully prevented the arrest. A police force was dispatched to the location, and the military police retreated without apprehending the yeshiva student, who was subsequently released. Video footage of the event was released.
