Elite IDF reservists protest judicial overhaul with walkout threat.

Hundreds of elite IDF reservists, including officers and soldiers in the Military Intelligence’s Special Operations Division and cyber warfare units, have stopped showing up for volunteer service in response to the government’s plans to alter the judicial system. The reservists have called on others to join them until "this attempted coup is over." The government's legislative efforts have roiled the military in recent weeks, growing in number even as they are condemned by senior politicians in both the opposition and the coalition. Defense Minister Yoav Gallant has said that reservists’ threats to refuse to serve if the government’s judicial overhaul is passed harm national security.
