An ultra-Orthodox protest erupted in Kfar Saba after a yeshiva student, who had evaded military service, was arrested and handed over to military police. The incident began when volunteer police officers stopped a young man driving a car without license plates. He was instructed to report to the Kfar Saba police station the following day. Upon his arrival, it was discovered he was a draft evader, leading to his transfer to military police custody. In response, members of the ultra-Orthodox community organized an unsanctioned protest, blocking a main road in both directions near the police station.
