Video Shows Israeli Teens Burning Draft Papers in Protest Against Gaza War
March 5, 2026
“I do not regret refusing the draft and would do so again.” These are the words of 18-year-old Yuval Peleg after serving 130 days in military prison. He is part of a growing movement of Israeli youth who are refusing to let the IDF “weaponize” their lives.
For these teens, burning their draft papers is the only way to protest a system that they believe has traded security for “ethnic cleansing.” Despite facing social ostracization and physical threats from far-right groups, they are standing firm. They are sending a message to every soldier being sent to the front: the red line has been crossed, and you have the power to say no.
