The imprisoned Israelis refusing military service in Gaza
The Guardian's Middle East correspondent follows young Israelis, including 18-year-old Itamar Greenberg, who refuse their draft orders during the Gaza war and face prison.
A rare look at young Israelis choosing prison over fighting, and the social cost they pay.
For many Israelis, military service is a rite of passage that lasts two to three years. Being such a formative part of the social contract in Israel, it is unusual for eligible young people to refuse their draft orders.
