The crisis surrounding the conscription of bnei yeshivos is deepening, with dozens of aveichim and bochurim arrested in recent days and transferred to military police.

On Sunday, the traffic police in Kiryat Ata detained a Chareidi man on Sunday and called the military police to the scene. He was arrested and transferred to prison.

Channel 12 News reported that Chareidi protesters were called to the area, but the military police managed to drive away from the station before they arrived.

As of Sunday, the day before Rosh Hashanah, about 100 bnei yeshivos are behind bars. Many of them are avreichim—including a chassan arrested during his Sheva Brachos—and they will be forced to spend Rosh Hashanah away from their families.

Meanwhile, the UK, Canada announced their unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state on Sunday at the UN General Assembly in New York. HaGaon HaRav Moshe Maya, a member of the Moetzet Chachmei HaTorah of Shas, connected the political tsunami unleashed against Israel to a loss of Siyata Dishmaya caused by its unprecedented battle against lomdei Torah.
