The family of Assaf Dagan, an Israel Air Force navigator who took his own life, has petitioned the High Court for a military burial and recognition as a fallen soldier. The family presented evidence that Dagan was called for reserve duty on the day he died, countering the military's claim that he was not on active reserve duty at the time. They obtained affidavits from reservists and senior IDF officials confirming that reservists were regularly summoned through WhatsApp messages. The military spokesperson expressed condolences and stated that the petition will be examined when received.
