During the past three years of fighting between Israel and the Palestinians, many Israelis have declared their objection to serving in the territories in light of reports of harassment and abuse of Palestinians. However, only a few have refused outright to join the military. (AP Photo/Ariel Schalit)

Shortly after an Israeli troop pullout, a Palestinian woman cries as she and others walk through the rubble of homes destroyed and damaged by army forces during a search operation inside the old city of the West Bank town of Nablus, Tuesday, Jan. 6, 2004. The army withdrew before dawn from positions it had held here during the three-week operation, however the army said that the operation was ongoing and this was merely a redeployment of troops. During the three-week sweep 12 Palestinians were killed and witnesses, able to survey the aftermath for the first time, said that troops had left behind wide-scale destruction.
