IDF Admits Difficulty in Handling Haredi Draft Protests After Modiin Incident

IDF Admits Difficulty in Handling Haredi Draft Protests After Modiin Incident

A senior IDF official admitted the Military Police's struggle to handle large Haredi draft protests after hundreds of demonstrators thwarted an arrest attempt in Modiin. The incident led to a dispute between the IDF and Israel Police over who was responsible for the failed arrest and subsequent release of a yeshiva student. The situation arises from increased pressure to enforce conscription laws against Haredi draft dodgers, with military officials promising renewed proactive enforcement in October. Several other recent incidents show similar interventions by Haredi communities to prevent arrests.

Rami Levy Retail Chain Faces Major Lawsuit Over Employee Deductions

Rami Levy Retail Chain Faces Major Lawsuit Over Employee Deductions

A class-action lawsuit has been approved against the Rami Levy supermarket chain in Israel, representing thousands of cashiers over the past seven years. The suit alleges illegal deductions from employee wages for cash register shortages. The Regional Labor Court ruled that random shortages are not a "fixed debt" and cannot be automatically deducted, especially for minimum wage workers, unless negligence is proven. The chain denies the claims, stating deductions were consensual and procedural, but the court found the practice to be systematic.
