Israeli Soldiers Refusing Orders to Deploy to Gaza

HeadlineAug 10, 2005

At least 50 enlisted soldiers and several dozen reservists have already refused orders. The Israeli army is warning that these dissident soldiers could create militias within the IDF. The Army is also currently searching for at least nine AWOL soldiers who still have their IDF-issued guns.

Also in Israel, a group of prominent rabbis have called on soldiers to refuse orders related to the evacuation of Gaza
