The drama surrounding the recruitment of Chareidim continues, with Kan News reporting on Wednesday evening that the IDF is preparing a large-scale operation aimed at capturing Chareidi draft dodgers.
In a policy change, the arrest operation, unlike the three previous operations that have taken place since the beginning of the war, will include bnei yeshivos.
Additionally, even bnei yeshivos who only received their first draft orders will be arrested, a group that includes a high percentage of bnei yeshivos.
In previous operations to capture deserters and draft dodgers, the IDF refrained from operating in Chareidi areas. Reports that an arrest operation against Chareidi draft dodgers took place earlier this week were mistaken, with only one Chareidi draft dodger arrested out of 38.
The IDF’s move to expand enforcement is taking place against the backdrop of public criticism surrounding the previous operation, when the IDF was criticized for avoiding operating in Chareidi areas.
Chareidi party representatives have informed Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu that they will consider an immediate withdrawal from the government if the military police begin an arrest operation against bnei yeshivos.

Why only “consider an immediate withdrawal from the government” it should have been done already.
In America people understand that if they break the law they may be arrested. Why is it different in Yerushalayim? Israel is not a Jewish country. What excuse can there be for lawbreaking and expecting it to be countenanced.?
I guess the shortage of manpower myth just went out the window. Plenty of Personnel to come bother the people learning. And now you know what the real agenda is. Don’t give in sweet boys, don’t join an army where they don’t value your life anyway. More worried about Muhammad’s wife and terrorist children in training than the IDF Soldier. Don’t serve the Attorney General Nazi
Time to block the streets in Tel Aviv, shutting the town and business down.
@Jerusalem observer: In 1950s America people understood that if people break the law they may be arrested. Why should it have been for Rosa Parks? The US wasn’t a Black country. What excuse can there be for lawbreaking and expecting it to be countenanced? During the Vietnam war, people burned their draft cards in protest, even after president Johnson made it a federal crime. What excuse can there be for lawbreaking and expecting it to be countenanced? In Boston harbour, on 16 December 1773, American colonists, disguised as Mohawk Indians, boarded British ships and threw 340 chests of tea owned by the East India Company into the water. What excuse can there be for lawbreaking and expecting it to be countenanced?

They could have finished and won this war in Gaza in three months without losing any soldiers. All they needed to do is No Food ,no fuel, no water,no electric ,no internet ,no media outlets and no medicine. Shoot from planes and ships to flatten all standing buildings. Result would be gazan civilians looting Hamas for food. And gazans would seek to leave to other countries. But the leftist control the army. They don’t care if religious soldiers get killed. They just worry about the gazan population. They lock up religious Chareidi soldiers who mistreated Arab murderers. Forty per cent of dead soldiers are religious. Why. Because the army leadership is made up of leftist. The real front line fighting are by the idealistic religious soldiers and not by the pork eating lefty leadership.
Make sure hevrusas are going together – whether to the army or to the kippa so that they can continue learning. Make sure to pre-load Shas on their dumb phones as connections might be bad in some places.
> even bnei yeshivos who only received their first draft orders will be arrested, a group that includes a high percentage of bnei yeshivos.
hilarious statement. I think it means “all who report they are bney yeshivos” include a “high percentage of real bnei yeshivos”. I hope so! Early rosh yeshiva of Mir when giving exemption papers – was asking every bochur to make sure he learns at full strength so that rosh yeshiva h’v does not sign falsehood.
