18-year-old Israeli citizen Tal Mitnick has been handed a 30-day sentence in a military prison for his refusal to enlist in the Israeli army, amidst the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict.
Times of Israel reported that Mitnick, who cites political grounds for his refusal, is the first person to face arrest for such reasons since October 7.
Expressing his stance in a video shared on Mesarvot's X account, an organisation advocating against military service, Mitnick stated: "I believe that slaughter cannot solve slaughter. The criminal attack on Gaza won't solve the atrocious slaughter that Hamas executed. Violence won't solve violence. And that is why I refuse."
This led to his sentencing on Tuesday.
