Israel bans national service with rights group B'Tselem in Gaza row

Young barred from serving in organisation as alternative to military service after it is accused of 'incitement against IDF'
Israel has banned young people from serving with one of its most prominent human rights groups because of its opposition to the war in Gaza. B'Tselem, which campaigns against Israeli settlements in the West Bank, was informed on Wednesday night that it has been blacklisted as a civilian alternative to military service.
