A police officer sustained a head injury overnight during violent disturbances near the Elad junction, according to police reports. The incident occurred when dozens of protesters gathered and began throwing stones at officers who were present to maintain order and ensure public safety. The injured officer was evacuated for medical treatment.
The protest is reportedly linked to ongoing demonstrations against military conscription among Haredi men. Yesterday, a protest took place at the entrance to the Kfar Saba police station following the arrest of a draft dodger driving without a license, who was transferred to military police.
During the night, yeshiva students took to the streets near the Elad junction, disrupting public order. Police declared the gathering illegal and ordered the protesters to disperse. When they refused, forces acted to disperse the crowd and restore order.
Following the incident, the police stated they would act with zero tolerance towards any acts of violence that endanger public safety and security forces. The officers involved in the operation were from the Rosh HaAyin station in the central district.
