Four soldiers from the Nahal Brigade refused redeployment to Gaza, citing severe emotional trauma from previous combat. Despite being declared mentally fit for duty, the soldiers described their refusal as stemming from a 'deep internal crisis' rather than fear. The military responded by sentencing three of the soldiers to short prison terms, while the fourth awaits trial, emphasizing the seriousness of disobeying orders during wartime. The case has sparked criticism over the military's handling of mental health, especially after a separate incident where a soldier's psychological distress was initially overlooked until peers intervened, leading to delayed treatment for him and his unit.
