Israeli reservist tells Al Jazeera he refuses to serve in Gaza, urging focus on captives return

Michael Ofer-Ziv, an Israeli reservist, spoke in an interview with Al Jazeera, explaining his refusal to return to Gaza. He, along with 129 other reservists, signed a letter urging the government to prioritise the return of captives. Ofer-Ziv expressed that their goal is to pressure the government to focus on bringing back captives alive. While he acknowledged that refusing to serve is taboo in Israeli society, he views the growing number of signatories as significant. He remains concerned about civilian harm in Gaza despite not being in close contact with soldiers currently serving there.
