The Jerusalem Faction, a Haredi political group, announced on Wednesday that it will hold large demonstrations in Jerusalem and the Gush Dan region on Thursday. The protests are in response to the recent arrests of several Haredi draft dodgers, a move the military had announced would resume in October. On Tuesday night, hundreds of Haredi protesters gathered outside the home of a draft dodger in Modi'in, protesting his arrest. Demonstrators attempted to break into the building, and after confrontations with police, the draft dodger was released. Police stated they had to act to "extract the soldiers" from the situation. Following the draft dodger's release, protesters were seen celebrating. The released individual, Yairi Lieberman, recounted in an interview that he heard police at his door around midnight and managed to call "Black Color," a Haredi emergency response group, while preparing to be taken away.
