The IDF stated on Tuesday, \u201cEntering IDF bases unlawfully is a serious crime.\u201d They condemned the violent actions and called for justice against those responsible. This incident stems from an ongoing debate regarding exemptions granted to ultra-Orthodox religious students. Following a Supreme Court ruling in June that mandated the drafting of ultra-Orthodox Jews\u2014also known as Haredim\u2014after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu&#8217;s coalition failed to reach an agreement on extending their exemptions, Haredim have mobilized against the draft. An anti-draft sign in a Jerusalem ultra-Orthodox area claimed, \u201cSince Israel&#8217;s founding, such a terrible holocaust has not been inflicted on young Haredim in this holy land,\u201d and warned that recruitment efforts were just beginning. Protesters drew provocative comparisons between IDF authorities and Nazi Germany during demonstrations on Tuesday, according to law enforcement reports. The Israel Police described scenes of violent unrest where protesters shouted &#8220;Nazis&#8221; at officers, attempted to breach barricades, threw objects at police and horses, and even sat under trucks. While acknowledging the right to protest as fundamental in a democracy\u2014as long as it remains lawful\u2014the police emphasized they would not tolerate disorder or actions threatening public safety. The disturbance at Tel Hashomer\u2019s recruitment center marked the third instance within a week where Israeli civilians breached an IDF base following confrontations involving hard-right lawmakers trying to prevent arrests of military personnel accused of mistreating Palestinian prisoners. IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi remarked last week that breaching military bases is unacceptable behavior that jeopardizes national security during wartime<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2743,"featured_media":2320056,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/DPA-Tel-Hashomer-Haredi-IDF-protest-Sml-1024x683.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[538],"tags":[7730,26585,4671,4542,37350],"class_list":["post-2320055","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-washington-examiner","tag-draft","tag-idf","tag-israel","tag-protest","tag-ultra-orthodox"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/DPA-Tel-Hashomer-Haredi-IDF-protest-Sml-1024x683.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2320055","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2743"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2320055"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2320055\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2320056"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2320055"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2320055"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2320055"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
