Israel Threatens to Dismiss 970 Air Force Members, Including Pilots, for Opposing Gaza Operations

Israeli Air Force commanders have threatened to dismiss 970 personnel, including pilots, officers, and soldiers, for opposing ongoing military operations in Gaza. The news was reported by the Israeli daily Haaretz on Wednesday.

According to the report, a letter signed by these 970 individuals was sent to the top commanders of the Air Force, expressing objection to the Gaza operations and calling for an end to them. The signatories include both regular staff and reservists.

While the signatories voiced their objection, the letter did not mention any intention to resign. Senior commanders have since contacted many of the signatories, warning that only those who withdraw their signatures will be allowed to remain in the force.

So far, only 25 individuals have agreed to withdraw their names. The majority maintain that the Gaza operations are politically motivated and have no direct link to Israel’s national security.

This view is echoed by opposition political leaders in Israel, who have long claimed that the military campaign is being driven by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s desire to maintain power rather than ensure security.

Following the dismissal threat, the protesting personnel reportedly met with Air Force Chief Major General Tomer Bar, strongly criticizing the move. In response, Bar defended the decision as rational, not punitive, stating that the military cannot rely on personnel unwilling to fulfill their responsibilities, especially in missions involving hostage rescue.

Bar also emphasized that issuing such letters during wartime is “illegitimate” but assured that the government is working toward a ceasefire in Gaza and the safe return of hostages.

Israel launched its offensive in Gaza on October 7, 2023, after Hamas fighters infiltrated Israeli territory, killing 1,200 people and taking 251 hostages. The military campaign, ongoing for over 15 months, has resulted in more than 49,000 Palestinian deaths.

After a temporary ceasefire on January 19, 2025, under international pressure, Israel resumed operations on March 18. In the 23 days since, over 2,000 Palestinians have been killed.
