Jerusalem, Apr 15 (V7N) – At least 150 Israeli soldiers from the IDF's elite Golani Brigade have signed a letter addressed to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, demanding an immediate end to the ongoing war in Gaza and the return of Israeli hostages.

This latest protest follows similar letters sent last week by 1,000 members of the Israeli Air Force, several hundred Intelligence Service personnel, and 200 military doctors, all calling for an end to the conflict. The growing chorus from within the military is putting increased pressure on the Israeli government.

Despite the rising dissent, Prime Minister Netanyahu has warned that soldiers who sign such letters risk dismissal from service.

The coordinated protest signals a significant shift within the ranks of the military, with opposition to the war now emerging from some of the country’s most respected and strategic units.
