Ultra-Orthodox protesters storm home of Israeli military police chief A group of ultra-Orthodox Jewish protesters stormed the home of Israeli military police chief Brigadier-General Yuval Yamin in Ashkelon, barricading themselves in his garden in protest against enforcement measures targeting draft evasion. The incident followed a ruling by the Israeli High Court of Justice ordering the state to cut benefits and pursue legal action against those refusing conscription. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the incident as a “brutal and violent attack” and called for firm action against those involved.
