Does it state that someone who refuses to serve in the army will not be subject to arrest, regardless of whether their refusal is based on the fact they are learning full time, or perhaps that their level of religious observance goes beyond the IDF’s willingness to accomodate, or on grounds that they hold that since zionism is contrary to halacha their service in the IDF is proscribed by Torah.

As I understand it, the army exempts some but not all yeshiva students, assumes that the army will accomodate religious practices (as is already the law, in theory), and totally ignores conscientious objection. Am I wrong?
