Protests expected following yeshiva student's arrest

 https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/432139

Arrest of alleged haredi draft evader ends five weeks of relative calm, with protesters expected to target Highway 4 near Bnei Brak.

The attempted handover in Holon follows the arrest of another yeshiva student on Sunday in Haifa. The student, who attends the Kfar Hasidim Yeshiva in Rechasim and was formerly a student at Beit Midrash Elyon, was arrested and handed over to the Military Police following a clash with an inspector over a "Rav Kav" card payment issue. Police were called to the scene, arrested him, and later transferred him to the Military Police because he is classified as a draft evader.

Following the arrest, the smaller Peleg faction is expected to hold protests in central Israel on Monday. The location and time have not yet been finalized, but the protest is expected to take place near Highway 4 at the entrance to Bnei Brak at approximately 5:00 p.m.

  1. If "Torah study protects!" then shouldn't they just be adding extra sedarim to their learning schedule?
    I'll say it again: the army and police should show up in full force and arrest every single protestor between the ages of 18-26 since obviously they do not believe Torah protects since they're not trying to shteig the crisis away.

    1. And the protesters are physically strong to go out there and fight armed soldiers with their bare hands . And they are not lamdanim. They prefer gashmius to learning all day
      Good conscript fodder

    2. One option is to arm them, drop them in the middle of Hezbollah country and say "Whoever gets back to the border alive gets to sit in yeshiva"
