Hundreds of ultra-Orthodox men gathered outside the police station in Ofakim to protest the arrest of a man accused of evading military service. The protestors blocked the entrance to the city and demanded the release of the arrested individual, who had reportedly ignored a call-up order after his recent marriage. During the demonstration, three protesters were detained, and a police officer sustained minor injuries from a thrown stone. The situation deescalated after the release of the detained protesters, leading to the dispersal of the crowd.
