Four hesder yeshiva soldiers were sentenced to fourteen days in military jail after they refused to visit the Mt. Herzl grave of Yitzchak Rabin during an official visit to Jerusalem, which included the grave.
At the time, the four explained to their officer that their ideology prohibits them from visiting the site. They then left their base and a military court handed down a sentence of six days probation, meaning if there is a repeat occurrence, they would be imprisoned for six days.
