18-year-old Tal Mitnick is the first Israeli conscientious objector to be jailed for refusing military service in protest at the brutal war in Gaza.

Ofer Cassif, a member of the […] Knesset from the leftist Hadash movement, applauded Tal Mitnik in a post on X, formerly Twitter

"Cheers to Tal Mitnik - the first conscription refuser in this damned war, who was sentenced today to 30 days of imprisonment... only peace will bring a solution, and the objectors have a place of honour in its promotion," he said.

      I can't source this, but I did read somewhere that Tal is the first person to be jailed. Others have conscientiously objected but agreements were reached that meant they were not imprisoned. It wasn't clear what these "agreements" were though. I heard about this guy because he was interviewed on Novara Media in the UK. I wonder if his treatment has something to do with the fact he's been very vocal and has appeared in international media. It's a really good interview. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHajCmbhC8Q
