Were played by draft dodgers. The irony of this is amazing.

I am of course talking about Oshri Cohen, Itay Tiran and Michael Moshonov.

I think that I saw somewhere, that draft dodgers also acted in Beaufort. You can't expect the whole crew to have combat experience! This is cinema.

I don't have combat experiance either, but I did serve in the army for 3 years.

Good for you.

They didn't. What's the problem?

As an Israeli who served in a combat unit (Nachal, 1986-1994) I am always pissed-off when I hear about my fellow Israelis who shirk their national service.

I couldn't find anything about these three actors on the web which mentioned anything about IDF service. Can you fill me in?

I'm guessing that perhaps they were all "jobnikim" and therefore ashamed that they were playing combat soldiers.

Root, avor.
