After a period of quiet over Sukkos, the military police have resumed arresting bnei yeshivos.

A talmid of Ohr HaChaim yeshivah was arrested overnight Monday at his home in Adam, a moshav in the Binyamin area (also known as Geva Binyamin). According to the bochur’s family members, the military police arrived in large numbers and even blocked several streets around his home to prevent protesters from gathering in the area.

It should be noted that reports published on Monday that Chareidi “draft dodgers” will no longer be arrested apply only to the Israel Police and not the military police. Israel Police chief Danny Levy made a decision that bnei yeshivos who encounter Israel Police officers will no longer be arrested and transferred to the military police. His decision does not affect targeted arrests of bnei yeshivos by the military police.

Some Chareidi sects have announced plans for protests on Tuesday evening. However, the official Peleg Yerushalmi sect stated that it will not hold demonstrations today.
