Ultra-Orthodox protesters attempted to breach a military base in central Israel on Wednesday, marking the third such incident in a week. The base houses soldiers in a special ultra-Orthodox track. One arrest was made at the scene. Separately, police reported the arrest of two individuals in Bnei Brak who attempted to break into an office building. These arrests are part of a broader escalation following the detention of two young ultra-Orthodox men who failed to report to IDF recruitment offices. The Jerusalem Faction, an ultra-Orthodox group, has been protesting these detentions. The group's leader, Rabbi Azriel Auerbach, instructed his followers to demonstrate, criticizing the central ultra-Orthodox establishment for not defending the detained students. The protests began last week after the initial arrests, with demonstrators targeting a building where ultra-Orthodox soldiers serve. The protests intensified when demonstrators attempted to force their way into the building on Wednesday. The military police also arrested a draft dodger in Be'er Sheva, and another was found in Eilat during a police search of a known drug offender's apartment.
