Report: Over 250 former members, reservists of Israel's elite Unit 8200 join call for end to Gaza war

Around 250 reservists and former members of Israel's elite intelligence Unit 8200 released a letter on Friday, expressing support for around 1000 Israeli Air Force reservists and former soldiers calling for the return of all captives and an end to the war in Gaza, Haaretz reported.

"We identify with the assertion that at the time the war serves mainly political and personal interests and not security interests," the letter said.

"Continuation of the war does not contribute to any of its declared goals and will bring the death of the hostages, IDF [Israeli military] soldiers and innocent people," it said, 

The publication said additional alumni of the unit are expected to join the call. A group of entrepreneurs, investors and employees in the Israeli high-tech sector is expected to publish a similar letter on Friday.
