As of this evening, 47 Haredi yeshiva students and married scholars (avrechim) are being held in Military Prison 4, according to Israeli media reports. The figure represents a snapshot of the ongoing draft enforcement wave against ultra-Orthodox men who have not reported for military service.
As of 21:07 Jerusalem time, 47 Haredi yeshiva students and married scholars (avrechim) are being held in Military Prison 4, according to reports circulating on Israeli channels. The number reflects the latest count of detainees from the ongoing draft enforcement campaign targeting ultra-Orthodox men who have not reported for IDF service. This follows a broader crackdown: over the past two weeks, more than 120 alleged draft dodgers were arrested and assigned to Haredi service tracks, as The Zioneer reported on June 10. Earlier this week, Shas MKs Yosef Tayeb and Yitzhak Mshariki visited Prison 10 to support detained yeshiva students. The precise breakdown by detention facility, and how many remain in Prison 4 versus other military prisons, is not specified in this evening's report. The enforcement wave continues amid deep political and social divisions over conscription policy for the Haredi community.
