בפעם הראשונה מזה שנים: המשטרה משתמשת ברימוני הלם כדי לפזר חרדים קיצוניים שמפגינים שמונה שעות כבר ליד לשכת הגיוס pic.twitter.com/1OJlDbsfCh — Yossi Eli (@Yossi_eli) April 15, 2018

Behadrei Haredim said that in the past, protests have begun over false rumors of arrests. The decision triggered public outrage and hundreds took to the streets to riot outside the IDF draft office in Jerusalem on Sunday night.One of the strongest military powers in the Middle East, Israel requires both men and women to serve in the military upon reaching the age of 18. Young men must report to the army to receive a deferral of service, which Jerusalem faction leaders have defied and some seminary students have refused to do also.The issue of the ultra-Orthodox exemption from military service was brought up again in March and resulted in a clash of opinions which almost brought down the right-wing government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.The government compromised by offering controversial legislation that allows ultra-Orthodox Jews to be largely exempt from enlisting in the IDF.Known for strictly observing the rules of Judaism in all aspects of daily and spiritual life, the ultra-Orthodox vowed to "fearlessly defend the walls of true Judaism" and continue serving their society through prayer.The reason for the girl's arrest was her 'not religious' appearance which does not conform with the strict ultra-Orthodox rules, ultra-Orthodox newspaper, Behadrei Haredim, reported .
