| (CBS) Yaniv Iczkovics and David Zonsheine, Israeli paratroopers, served a tour in the Gaza Strip last December and say their presence there caused impoverished Palestinians additional hardship. Refusniks are leading a 450-strong group of Israeli soldiers who won't fight in Gaza or the West Bank, reports correspondent Bob Simon, who interviewed the two in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv for 60 Minutes.I felt like what I was doing was wrong, says Iczkovics. Our presence there simply causes an impossible situation for their normal life. The two discussed their reservations among other soldiers and eventually more joined their movement to refuse to fight in the Occupied Territories. |
