Israel releases Chabad Hasidim at Ben Gurion after enlistment pledge

Israeli authorities detained Chabad Hasidim arriving from New York at Ben Gurion Airport over draft evasion; two deemed 'prosecutorial evaders' were jailed, while others were released after expressing willingness to enlist, with IDF offering a track suited to ultra-Orthodox life. This marks a shift in enforcement of conscription amid ongoing ultra-Orthodox exemption controversy.
