Thousands of ultra-Orthodox Jewish men took to the streets in Israel, blocking major roads in Jerusalem and near Tel Aviv to protest against mandatory military service. The demonstrations erupted after two yeshiva students were arrested for allegedly evading the draft, fueling outrage within the Haredi community. Backed by prominent rabbis, protesters clashed with police, who used water cannons, skunk spray, and batons to disperse the crowds. Protesters burned military draft orders and chanted defiant slogans, underscoring their staunch opposition to enlistment. The unrest highlights escalating tensions between religious communities and the Israeli government over military conscription policies.
