Israeli siblings who fear breaking law in Gaza under IDF owed protection by Australia, tribunal finds

Exclusive: Tribunal accepts three siblings could face persecution' for refusing military conscription due to their political opinion on war

Three Israeli citizens facing conscription into the Israel Defense Forces have been granted the right to reapply for protection visas in Australia, after a government tribunal found they held a genuine fear they would be forced to break international humanitarian law in Gaza.

The Administrative Review Tribunal found the punishment the young adults could face from the state of Israel - including imprisonment as conscientious objectors - would amount to persecution.
