Israeli military veterans and reservists gets louder as protests against judicial reform plans continues

The voices of dissent from Israeli military veterans and reservists towards the country’s government are getting louder as protests against the judicial reform plans continue.

 

But after protests on Tuesday saw highways blocked, Israel’s military establishment is also pushing back, with army chief Herzl Halevi warning that anyone who calls for not reporting  harms the Israeli forces and security of the



state.

 

Military protest group Brothers in Arms was one of the dozens who participated in the second weekly day of disruption, in which the voices of ex-soldiers have taken centre stage. Leading the way are the more than 10,000 reservist soldiers, including members of the elite intelligence unit 8200 and air force pilots, who have signed an online petition to go to war for the soul of the nation, threatening to boycott their reservist duty.
