Zionist israeli air force suspends several senior reservists as anti-regime protests persist

Chief of Israeli regime’s air force has suspended a number of senior military reserve forces amid persisting  protests against prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s far-right cabinet and its policies, including the so-called judicial overhaul plan.

Major General Tomer Bar agreed to suspend the service of several brigadier generals, without identifying them or revealing the number of sacked officers, Israeli media outlets reported. 

The report said the commanders of the Israeli air force can either return the high-ranking reservists to service later, or opt to replace them.

The latest development came a day after the Israeli navy suspended Rear Adm. Ofer Doron and Rear Adm. Eyal Segev.

The head of the Israeli navy, Vice Adm. David Sa’ar Salama suspended the two reservists after they declared plans to discontinue their volunteer reserve duties while insisting that they refused to serve in “a dictatorship.”

Doron and Segev both served as heads of operational headquarters and as deputies to Salama in emergencies.

More than 10,000 reservist soldiers, including members of the elite intelligence unit 8200 and air force pilots, have said they would no longer show up for duty on a voluntary basis in protest.

The chief of the Israeli air force has already warned that the state of the force’s readiness is “worsening” as dozens of reservist pilots have declared they would no longer show up for volunteer duty in protest against the policies of the incumbent far-right administration.
