Dramatic event in protest against construction complex in Yehud: Police today (Tuesday) arrested three deserters who were demonstrating at the construction site in Yehud against the desecration of graves.
The investigation revealed that the three - two 20-year-olds and a 26-year-old, one of whom is the grandson of a Rebbe - were subject to conscription and were transferred, in an unusual step, to the military police.
The Jerusalem faction is expected to join the protests against the arrest of the young men. As a result, demonstrations are expected in Jerusalem, Bnei Brak, Shilat Junction, and Safed.
Attorneys Shlomo Hadad and Itai Cohen, representing the protesters arrested in Yehud, responded: "Three young ultra-Orthodox men were arrested who participated in a protest in Yehud against the desecration of graves. The detainees were brought to the police station and questioned, and after an examination, it was decided to release them.
However, during the inspection at the station, it became clear that the three were registered as required for military service. Following an investigation conducted by the police with the IDF, an order was received to arrest them for evasion. This is a highly unusual step.
It seems that under the circumstances, this is an unusual action that raises questions, especially given the nature of the protest and the public sensitivity surrounding the issue of the graves and the issue of the Haredi conscription into the IDF."
