Following the departure of 64 young Haredi men who had evaded IDF enlistment, only to be apprehended upon their return to Israel, the Population and Immigration Authority is advancing a reform of its border control systems. The new measures, revealed by "Kan News," will integrate artificial intelligence-based technologies, surveillance cameras, and two-stage crossing gates.
These advanced systems are slated for implementation at Israel's entry gates within the current year. However, their deployment at exit gates is expected to be postponed until next year.
Earlier on Thursday, the Yerushalmi Faction held protests in Jerusalem and central Israel protesting the recent arrests of several Haredi draft evaders. The demonstrations escalated into severe confrontations between participants and police, resulting in the arrest of three suspects for assaulting officers.
