(Aug. 17, 2023 / JNS)
The Israel Defense Forces announced on Thursday the suspension of a high-ranking naval reservist for refusing to show up for duty in protest of judicial reform.
His service was suspended following a conversation with the head of the navy. The suspension of another reservist who boycotted reserve duty will be up for review in the coming days after a conversation with him takes place.
Both reserve officers hold the rank of commander and serve as combat managers at navy headquarters at the Kirya in Tel Aviv. They are over the age of reserve service and reported voluntarily.
IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi approved the decision of OC Navy Vice Adm. David Salama.
