Dozens of Gur Hasidim are dancing outside Prison 10 this evening, according to journalist Eli Hirshman, after receiving word that a deserter whose arrest had drawn recent protests is expected to be released. The celebration follows days of rallies by the Haredi community near military prisons, which have been centered on the detention of yeshiva graduates who evaded IDF service. In recent days, as The Zioneer reported, several detainees have been released ahead of schedule. The specific identity of the deserter and the exact release time remain unconfirmed.
