Another 120 reservists have informed the Israeli Air Force they will not show up for volunteer duty, according to the Kan public broadcaster.

The broadcaster says some 830 IAF reservists have now taken such a step, including over 260 pilots, and reports a signifiant drop in the number of reservists at the air force’s flight school.
