      'Unprecedented': Over 1,000 Israeli Air Force Reservists Threaten to Quit Over Judicial Coup

      "For decades, we left everything behind and came forward resolutely to defend Israel, and now we find ourselves fighting for democracy."

      More than 1,100 Israeli air force reservists on Friday threatened to not report for duty if the country's far-right government proceeds with a set of highly controversial judicial reforms critics say dangerously erode democracy.

      "When we pledged to dedicate our lives to the country, we never thought we would reach a day where the contract between us and the state would be breached," the IAF reservists—who include hundreds of pilots, drone operators, and others—wrote in a letter to Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Chief of Staff Maj. Gen. Herzi Halevi.

      The latest Israeli attack on a refugee camp in the West Bank city of Jenin on Monday morning killed at least five Palestinians, including a 15-year-old boy, and left another teenager with a critical wound after being shot in the head.

      At least 91 people were wounded and 10 were in critical condition after an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) raid that was reportedly aimed at arresting two people, including activist Assem Abu al-Haija. The Middle East Eye (MEE) reported that the initial arrest operation involved violence against al-Haija's young family and was followed by the Israelis' deployment of stun grenades, Apache helicopters, and tear gas as the refugee camp came under attack.
