Dozens of protesters gathered outside a police station in Kfar Saba on Tuesday in an attempt to prevent the transfer of a yeshiva student to military police custody. The student, who attends a prominent Lithuanian-style yeshiva, was summoned for questioning in Kfar Saba before being handed over to the military police. The incident is part of an ongoing wave of arrests, according to the Haredi News outlet. The exact reasons for the student's questioning and subsequent arrest were not immediately clear. The protests highlight the tensions surrounding military conscription among some segments of the Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) community in Israel. The wave of arrests suggests a broader enforcement effort is underway, though details remain scarce.
