Dozens of Israeli soldiers threaten to stop military service

ALQUDS, Oct. 09 (YPA) – At least 130 Israeli occupation’s soldiers have threatened to stop military service unless the government takes the initiative to conclude a prisoner exchange deal and a ceasefire.

According to Alhurra website, the reserve soldiers and recruits of various ranks and positions, including the Armored Corps and Artillery, the Home Front Command, the Air Force and the Navy signed a letter sent to members of the government and the Chief of Staff of the occupation army.

“It is now clear that the continuation of the war in Gaza not only delays the return of the prisoners from captivity, but also puts their lives in danger,” the letter stated. “Many of them have been killed by Israeli army strikes, far more than those who have been rescued in military operations.”

“We who serve and have served selflessly at the risk of our lives, hereby declare that if the government does not immediately change course and work to reach a deal to return the hostages home, we will not be able to continue serving,” the soldiers explained.
