Large-scale protests are scheduled for Thursday in Jerusalem and the Gush Dan region to oppose the renewed arrests of Haredi men evading mandatory military service. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) had announced that the apprehension of draft dodgers would resume in October. The upcoming demonstrations follow an incident Tuesday night in Modi'in, where hundreds of Haredi protesters gathered outside the home of a young man evading military service, protesting his arrest. Some demonstrators attempted to storm the building, leading to confrontations with the police before the young man was released. Police stated they had to intervene to remove soldiers from the scene.
