Published
Military-police personnel left a building in Modi’in early on October 6 after protesters obstructed an operation to arrest a young man whom Israel Police described as a deserter. Israel Police said officers were working to rescue the soldiers and restore order after disorder broke out during the operation. The young man, an Ohr HaChaim yeshiva student, was released following negotiations, and the military-police personnel departed. His release did not appear in the police announcement, which addressed the disturbance and efforts to extract soldiers.
