Jerusalem, 27 May, 2026 (TPS-IL) — The police detained a suspect who was driving wildly on Highway 60, who turned out to be an IDF (Israel Defense Forces) draft dodger. Shortly after his detention, dozens of what the police called “troublemakers” arrived at the police station and started a “violent riot.” The person was later handed over to IDF officials, at the same time as an investigation was opened against him for his dangerous driving.
The station police, together with the police special forces, immediately acted to repel the rioters and disperse them, using force and means to disperse disturbances.
In the meantime, another deserter, one of the rioters, was detained and handed over to the military police.
