49 Suspects In Riot Against Judge Released To House Arrest, 19 Draft Evaders To Military Police

Jun 10, 2026·2 min read

JERUSALEM (VINnews) — The District Court ordered on Wednesday the release under restrictive conditions of 49 of the suspects who were arrested after the rampage in the yard of the home of the Vice President of the Supreme Court, Justice Noam Solberg, in the settlement of Alon Shvut.

Among those who were released, 18 draft evaders and one deserter were not released to their homes, but were transferred by the Israel Prison Service to the Military Police for further handling.

At the same time, the police requested an extension of eight days for the detention of four additional suspects arrested in the incident, including one deserter. According to the police, this is due to a “significant development” in the investigation, and a “secret report” was submitted on the matter.

In addition, a minor arrested in the case will, at this stage, remain under house arrest conditions.

The District Court rejected on Monday the appeal filed by 51 of the suspects who were arrested on suspicion of involvement in the intrusion into the yard of the judge’s home and causing damage to plants, the house windows, and the family vehicle. According to the decision, they remained in custody until today.

As previously reported, last week extremist charedi protesters arrived at the home of Noam Solberg, broke windows in his house and smashed the windshield of his vehicle.

The rioters came to demonstrate against his order to intensify the arrest of draft evaders from yeshivas, and caused significant damage at the judge’s home. Around 60 of them were arrested.

The protesters arrived near Solberg’s home in protest over what they described as his directive to increase enforcement against draft dodgers. The local emergency response unit of Gush Etzion was mobilized to protect the judge’s home in the initial moments until police arrived.

Afterwards, the protesters boarded a bus and attempted to leave the scene. Large police forces that arrived in the area stopped the bus carrying the protesters and arrested them.
