A Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) man was arrested and later released after it was determined to be a case of mistaken identity, according to a report from The Zioneer. The incident follows a similar case earlier today in Ashdod.
The Zioneer reports that a Haredi man was arrested and subsequently released after authorities recognized a case of mistaken identity. The report comes two hours after a similar incident at 12:13, in which police in Ashdod mistakenly arrested a Haredi man on a child support warrant, releasing him after realizing the error. The new report does not specify the location of the arrest. The events occur against the backdrop of ongoing tensions over Haredi military conscription and police enforcement of draft orders. The Zioneer will publish a full article on the incident.
