Anti-Draft Protesters Rally Outside Tel Hashomer Recruitment Center

About 100 anti-draft demonstrators from extremist Haredi factions gathered Wednesday outside the Tel Hashomer recruitment center as Haredi recruits reported for combat-support roles. Footage showed protesters blocking the access road and attempting to breach barriers around the base, while police deployed at the scene. Some demonstrators carried signs asking U.S. President Donald Trump to intervene against compulsory enlistment. The protest came a day after the Knesset passed legislation freezing arrests of qualifying draft evaders; recruitment activity at the center continued despite the demonstration.
