💨 Abstract

A mass ultra-Orthodox Jewish rally against military conscription in Jerusalem turned deadly when a bus drove into the crowd, killing an 18-year-old boy. The driver was detained, and the incident is under investigation. The debate over mandatory military service, which exempts ultra-Orthodox seminary students, has long caused tensions in Israel. The ultra-Orthodox community resists military service due to religious concerns, while many Israelis view the exemption as unfair.
