Military police arrested Eliyahu Deda, a highly regarded yeshiva student, at his parents' home in Be'er Sheva early Thursday morning. The arrest, which occurred shortly after 4:00 a.m., has caused significant distress and anger within the Torah world. Deda is a student at the 'Orchos Meir' yeshiva in Jerusalem.
Following his apprehension by military police forces, Deda was initially taken to a detention facility at the Bahad base and later transferred to Prison 10. He is scheduled to face a trial before an officer in the coming hours.
Aid organizations immediately intervened upon learning of the arrest. The 'Notnim Gav' organization stated it is providing legal counsel and support to Deda and his family. The 'Am Kadosh' emergency center reported that the family contacted them directly after the arrest, and their lawyers have been engaged to represent Deda in his trial.
Organizations advocating on behalf of yeshiva students are expressing strong condemnation of the arrest and are preparing for protests and other active measures.
