Last week, on the night between Wednesday and Thursday, military police were in Betar Illit, in search of a talmid yeshiva affiliated with Peleg Yerushalmi, which instructs its followers not to cooperate in anyway with IDF authorities.

According to a Kikar Shabbos report, the military police visited at least four families that night, all for talmidim who do not report to military authorities as required. However, after dozens of activists arrived at the area, military police backed down and left empty handed after knocking on doors at 2:00 AM.

In a letter of chizuk to parents of such talmidim, HaRav Baruch Shmuel Deutsch refers to such events and instructs parents to remain strong.
