Protests against the war in the Gaza Strip are expanding day by day within the reserve formations of the Zionist enemy army, amid the failure of the war to secure the release of the hostages and the ongoing losses.
The protesters are demanding the return of the hostages, even if it means a complete halt to the war.
The dismissal of 1,000 active reservists and prominent former military figures in the Air Force, a few days ago, continues to cast a shadow over the scene. These individuals were planning to submit a protest letter to the political leadership, Israeli media reported.
More than 250 former officials from Israeli intelligence agency Mossad released a new petition Sunday night calling for an immediate end to the war in Gaza to facilitate the release of all hostages, according to Israeli media.
The petition adds to a growing wave of public dissent within Israel’s security establishment. Since Thursday, at least six petitions have been signed by reservists, retired officers, and veterans from various branches of the Israeli military.
According to Yedioth Ahronoth daily: “The letter, initiated by former senior Mossad officer Gail Shorsh, bears the signatures of three former Mossad chiefs – Danny Yatom, Ephraim Halevy and Tamir Pardo – as well as dozens of department heads and deputy department heads within the agency.”
This is the second petition within 24 hours signed by former or current members of Israel’s security forces.
Earlier Sunday, around 200 active military reservist doctors also signed a petition demanding an end to the war and the return of hostages held in Gaza.
