This morning, hundreds of Peleg teens protested outside the Tel Hashomer Induction Center against yeshiva students being drafted into the army.
Later in the afternoon, many protesters broke into the base. Soldiers were filmed dragging the protesters out.
According to police at the site, protesters threw objects at police and police horses, attempted to break through barriers, and called the police Nazis.
In a statement, the IDF responded to the breaking into the base, saying: “In the last few hours, dozens of protesters tried to break into the Tel Hashomer base during demonstrations held outside the base.”
“Breaking into IDF bases is a serious offense and against the law. The IDF condemns the violent behavior and insists that justice must be brought forth against the perpetrators.
“Recruiting chareidim is a necessary operational necessity, takes place in accordance with the law, and we are determined to continue promoting it.”
