An Israeli Air Force reservist navigator was dismissed from the military after refusing to show up for reserve duty due to the resumption of fighting in the Gaza Strip. The incident is seen as isolated but raises concerns among senior IDF officials about a potential increase in refusals to serve among reservists. The IDF responded swiftly by terminating the aircrew member's reserve service. During the recent war, the overall rate of reserve soldiers showing up for duty has decreased as the fighting has continued.
