Israeli police confirmed that 143 draft evaders were released after the IDF failed to meet detention deadlines, while 42 ultra-Orthodox men were detained at the airport in a separate enforcement action, with 40 freed after pledging to enlist. Netanyahu came out against the airport arrests, calling them a 'deliberate attempt to harm the process of drafting Haredim without coercion,' drawing criticism from opposition leaders. An Attorney-General's Office document revealed gaps in draft enforcement, including postponed arrest operations and unclear release criteria, while a Haaretz opinion piece argued that by shielding Haredi draft dodgers the Netanyahu government was placing itself above the law.
