Israeli Radio: 9 soldiers were expelled from Gaza for refusing military orders. A number of occupation soldiers refuse to obey the orders of their commanders in Gaza.

A segment of Jewish youth refuses to perform military service in the occupation army in light of the aggression against Gaza. They also oppose the occupation of Palestinian territories, the bombing of Gaza, and the killing of civilians. The soldiers' families said, "The soldiers had been in Gaza for a long time and were completely exhausted. Instead of taking them out for renewal and giving them military uniforms when they asked for it, they were being humiliated"
