Authorities Resume Proactive Draft Enforcement as Two Yeshiva Bochurim Detained

Attorney General Gali Baharav‑Miara's High Court filing urging equal, proactive enforcement has prompted legal aid, rapid activist alerts, planned street protests.

Overview

  • The recent enforcement surge culminated Monday when Yisroel Guchafi was arrested in Haifa and transferred to Military Police custody after an altercation linked to his Rav‑Kav transit card.
  • Late Sunday night police detained a bochur from Yeshivas Ateres Shlomo at a Holon gas station but released him after activists activated the Tzeva Shachor (Color Black) alert and police stood down on handing him to military authorities.
  • Several days earlier Mordechai (Motti) Mishkovsky was arrested near Ben Shemen and was later sentenced to 20 days in military prison for failing to report to the IDF recruitment office.
  • Attorney General Gali Baharav‑Miara formally told the High Court that the IDF and police should resume proactive, equal enforcement of draft rules, a legal move that sources say spurred the recent round of operations.
  • Factional organizers led by Peleg are planning protests near the entrance to Bnei Brak on Highway 4, police have warned of traffic controls, and organizations such as Am Kadosh are providing legal support to the detained students and their families.
