Dozens of draft dodgers who managed to leave Israel for Romania despite exit-ban orders were questioned by police upon their return to Israel on suspicion of violating the Entry into Israel Law. The investigation revealed the primary method used to circumvent border control: sticking close to another traveler at the gate after passport control. According to a report by Roey Yanovsky on Kan News, a total of 64 draft dodgers were apprehended at border control upon their return from Romania. Checks showed they were not registered as having left Israel, meaning they exited the country without passing through border control. Some have already been questioned under caution, while others are expected to be questioned later. Police investigations indicate the main method used to leave the country despite the exit ban was to attach themselves to another traveler at border control. These incidents exposed a loophole allowing citizens under exit-ban orders to bypass control, regardless of whether the order was issued due to criminal proceedings, enforcement procedures, or other reasons.
