8200 refuseniks dismissed from reserves

The IDF decides to expel from reserve service the men from unit 8200 who signed the refusenik letter, after they already said they would not take part in reserve duty in the future.

The Walla news website quoted a letter by an IDF general (identified only as A.), who wrote to the refuseniks: “You crossed a fine line dividing politics from army service. This is the line that allows us as a unit to supply high-quality intelligence answering all the needs of the IDF and other security establishments in the state of Israel.”

According to the Haaretz daily, several of the signatories on the letter did not receive a letter officially announcing their expulsion from reserve duty.
