Overview
- Police rescued two female IDF soldiers from a large ultra-Orthodox crowd in Bnei Brak during unrest that saw a patrol car overturned and a police motorcycle set on fire.
- The IDF said the soldiers serve in the Education and Youth Corps and were on a home visit, countering claims they were delivering draft notices.
- About 27–28 people were detained; attorneys say most were uninvolved bystanders, and by Monday nearly all were freed without charges, with two placed under five days of house arrest.
- Police reported injured officers and continue to seek suspects behind the arson and vandalism, while complaints over alleged excessive force are being prepared for the internal affairs unit.
- Leaders across the spectrum condemned the violence, from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and IDF Chief Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir to senior rabbis, as Knesset arguments over conscription and policing escalated.
