Halutz harshens penalties to refuseniks

By: Haaretz

Published: July 21, 2005

IDF Chief of Staff Dan Halutz approved a series of steps this week to harshen disciplinary measures against refuseniks ahead of the pullout plan.

A soldier convicted of refusing an order will no longer be allowed to serve as a combat soldier, and refuseniks will be sentenced to prison.

Also, refuseniks from hesder yeshivas will lose the privilege of alternate service and yeshiva study. This means the soldier will not have the benefit of a 14-month army service, but will have to serve for three full years.
