Why it matters:
The exhaustion of the Israeli military personnel in the Gaza Strip has caused discontent among the military to increase as the war in the Strip and its occupation continue.
The big picture:
The Yedioth Ahronoth news site reported that some of the officers were supposed to be involved in the attack on Iran in June but were not called up for reserve duty at the time due to their opposition to continuing the genocidal war in Gaza.
The officers, who hold various ranks, have since called on the army to reverse its decision and reinstate them to service.
What they're saying:
A source who spoke to Yedioth Ahronoth said that the officers had all served in the reserves until the start of the war on Gaza.
The report further states that 17 other air force reservists who signed the petition were suspended from duty.
Go deeper:
The latest development comes after Israeli soldiers in the last few months have increasingly voiced their concerns over the continuation of the war and urged for Israeli captives held in Gaza to be freed in a deal.
Earlier this year, in April, around 1,000 reservists and former Air Force staff signed a letter demanding a ceasefire. An additional 100 military doctors from the Israeli Intelligence Unit also joined the calls.
