Hundreds of ultra-Orthodox protesters surrounded military police in Modi'in on Tuesday night, forcing them to withdraw without arresting a draft dodger. The confrontation occurred when military police attempted to apprehend a young man evading mandatory military service at his home. According to Hebrew media reports, the ultra-Orthodox individuals, described as Haredim, arrived shortly after the police and surrounded the building where the young man lived. Negotiations between the protesters and police reportedly led to an agreement where the military police would leave without making an arrest, in exchange for safe passage out of the area. The military police had called for civilian police assistance to restore order, but ultimately, the arrest warrant was not executed. Following the police departure, the young man, who was the target of the arrest, was seen celebrating with the crowd.
