Hundreds of Israeli reservists vow to refuse to fight in planned Gaza City takeover

Hundreds of Israeli reservists have announced they will refuse to report for duty if called up for a planned operation to seize Gaza City. At a press conference, a representative for 365 reservists who have fought in Gaza stated they would not participate in what they term an "illegal war." The soldiers view their refusal as a patriotic duty and are demanding accountability from their leaders. They criticize the government for being interested only in its political survival and for making a decision that puts hostages, soldiers, and citizens at risk.
