Anti-war protest grows within Israel
Yesh Gvul, the advocacy organization for Israelis who refuse service in the occupied territories, reports that Israeli military authorities have sentenced an IDF reservist to 28 days in prison for refusing to take part in the ongoing attacks against Lebanon. Capt. (Res.) Amir Pasteur defended his refusal, saying that "taking part in this war runs contrary to the values upon which he was brought up".

Also, Israeli daily Haaretz reports on mounting Israeli opposition to Israel's actions in Lebanon, in the wake of the Qana bombing.
