Religious soldiers in the IDF's Givati Brigade's Rotem Battalion refused to take part in an operational mission in the Gaza Strip after being ordered to board a Namer armored personnel carrier with a female paramedic, according to sources familiar with the incident, who warned on Thursday that the dispute could spark wider tensions with yeshiva student units.
