I wonder how many of them have lost siblings, parents, cousins, etc. to terrorists? How old are kids when they first go into the military in Israel? Seems like it's much younger than our kds are.

Eighteen. Conscription. No deferment, except on case by case basis. But alternative service is permitted.
