As of Friday, 42 Haredi Torah scholars (Bnei Torah) are being held in military prison for evading conscription, according to aid organizations that support Haredi draft evaders.
The figure of 42 is the latest snapshot of Haredi draft evaders currently in military detention. The Zioneer has previously reported on the numbers of Haredi men held in military prison, with figures of 41 (June 26) and 47 (June 11) being recorded over the past weeks. The aid organizations, which support ultra-Orthodox men who refuse to serve, have been tracking the ongoing enforcement wave. The current count reflects the ongoing efforts by military police to detain Haredi men who have not reported for duty.
