Shas lawmaker Yoav Ben Tzur was attacked in Jerusalem by a group of ultra-Orthodox youths following his involvement in advancing legislation to draft religious students into the military. Ben Tzur's office described the incident as a 'lynch attempt,' with reports that he was beaten and his car windows were smashed before police intervened. The Shas movement condemned the violence, stating it does not represent the values of the religious community. Political figures across the spectrum denounced the attack, calling for respectful dialogue and adherence to the law when addressing sensitive issues such as military conscription.
