An organization identified with Rabbi Tzvi Friedman claims that 34 yeshiva students who are draft evaders are currently being held in military prison. The figure differs from a previous report by the organization Noten Gav, which said 41 Haredi deserters were in custody in June.
An organization linked to Rabbi Tzvi Friedman, a prominent figure in the Haredi community, has claimed that 34 yeshiva students who have evaded military service are currently incarcerated in a military prison. The claim, made Thursday evening, provides a different figure from the one reported by the organization Noten Gav in late June, which stated that 41 Haredi draft evaders were being held. The discrepancy highlights the ongoing debate over Haredi enlistment and the enforcement of conscription laws. The organization's exact name was not specified in the report. The claim could not be independently verified. Previously, the military has reported varying numbers of Haredi deserters in custody, with the issue remaining a contentious political topic.
