The ultra-Orthodox student arrested for failing to show up at an IDF induction center is released from a military jail after nine days.

The detention of the teenager, the son of an associate of Rabbi Shmuel Auerbach, sparked protests by followers of the rabbi nationwide for over a week.

He is freed after nine days, despite receiving an 20-day sentence.
