Two yeshiva bochurim, both affiliated with prominent yeshivos, were detained at Ben Gurion Airport on Sunday as they attempted to fly out of Israel. Authorities stopped them due to active stay-of-exit orders that had been issued after the young men failed to appear at an IDF recruitment center as required.
Following their arrest, the pair was transferred to the IDF’s Tel Hashomer base, where a hearing on their status is expected to take place.
The Lemaancha organization, which provides support for yeshiva students facing conscription-related challenges, immediately informed senior chareidi rabbanim of the situation. Acting on the guidance of these gedolim, Lemaancha began assisting the detainees.
“We are closely, sensitively, and quietly accompanying the boys following the instructions from the rabbis,” the organization said in a statement.
In response to the arrest, Lemaancha cautioned the public not to rely solely on the Interior Ministry’s website to determine whether a travel ban is in effect.
“There are sometimes discrepancies between the various data systems,” the organization explained. “Refrain from arriving at sensitive locations, such as the airport, without conducting an in-depth inquiry beforehand.”

They’re already released. Leave it up to the Charedim. They will not let them languish in prison for long.
