An Israeli military official has said that reserve fighter pilots, who publicly called for securing the release of hostages even at the cost of ending the Gaza conflict, would be dismissed from the air force, AFP reports.
“With the full backing of the chief of the General Staff, the commander of the IAF (Israeli Air Force) has decided that any active reservist who signed the letter will not be able to continue serving in the IDF (military),” the official told AFP in response to a letter signed by around 1,000 reserve and retired pilots that appeared in the media.
