An Israeli military official said on Thursday that the some 900 reserve and retired pilots who signed a petition calling for securing the return of captives from Gaza at the cost of ending the war, would be dismissed from the air force.
"With the full backing of the chief of the General Staff, the commander of the IAF (Israeli airforce) 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.
