Two ultra-Orthodox men, a yeshiva student from Hebron and another from Jerusalem, have been arrested and transferred to military police for draft evasion. The Hebron yeshiva student was apprehended in Eilat and handed over to military police. The Jerusalem resident, a married kollel scholar for three months, was caught during a family vacation. These arrests come amid strict new directives regarding draft exemptions for the ultra-Orthodox community.
The intensified pursuit of draft dodgers follows recent directives aimed at increasing enlistment among the ultra-Orthodox sector. The military has been increasing its efforts to locate and apprehend individuals who have avoided conscription, leading to a rise in such arrests. The authorities are reportedly taking a firmer stance on enforcing military service laws across all segments of Israeli society.
