Why I Refused to Be a Cog in Israel's War Machine - Opinion - Haaretz.com

I was drafted into a prestigious position in Military Intelligence in January 2017. I had friends who refused to serve. Although I knew that was an option, I chose not to go down that path. I thought I'd learn something by serving in the army, about the system itself and about potentially influencing it. I was an officer, and in the end, I served for almost five years and left without regrets.
