Shas MK Yoav Ben-Tzur visited Prison 10 on Sunday morning to support haredi men imprisoned for evading military service, according to a post from journalist Eli Hirschman.
Shas MK Yoav Ben-Tzur visited Prison 10 on Sunday morning to meet with haredi men imprisoned for draft evasion, journalist Eli Hirschman reported. The visit follows a pattern of Shas lawmakers showing support for detained yeshiva students: as The Zioneer previously reported, Shas MKs Yosef Tayeb and Yitzhak Mshariki made a similar visit to the same facility earlier this month. Ben-Tzur is a prominent Shas figure and serves on the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee. The IDF has been enforcing draft summons for draft-age haredi men since March, leading to a surge in arrests of yeshiva students who refuse to report.
