There's an interesting excerpt from a new book written by a poster at Maggie's Farm, Reluctant Warriors. The author has "interviewed a group of Israeli citizen-soldiers and assembled their experiences." A snip:

But I can’t kill him. Sleeping next to his wife. I inject him so he stays asleep: he shakes briefly, then goes limp. We roll him out of bed, his wife still sleeping. I carry him on my back downstairs and we are off. Deliver him to Shabak for questioning. I think this is good, since I think that they got a lot of information from him.
(There is a touch of uncertainty in his voice as he talks about not killing this man.)...
