Gaza – SABA:
The Zionist enemy has begun taking punitive measures against reserve-duty doctors who signed a petition demanding the return of "Israeli" prisoners, even if it requires ending the war on Gaza, according to a statement issued by the petition's organizers on Wednesday.
The organizers explained that officers from the army’s central medical unit contacted doctors who signed the petition while serving in the reserves and demanded they withdraw their signatures. They noted that one female signatory was dismissed from her position in an air force medical unit and removed from a flight training course.
The organizers stated that Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir instructed the head of the medical unit, Brig. Gen. Zivan Avigad Bar, to inform all signing doctors that "the military rejects mixing politics with military service." The doctors were also told they would receive personal summonses for a "clarification meeting" at the unit’s headquarters.
This development follows a wave of protests within the Zionist military, which began last week after active and reserve air force personnel signed a similar petition demanding the immediate return of prisoners, even at the cost of ending the war.
In response, Air Force Commander Tomer Bar and Chief of Staff Zamir decided to dismiss all reserve soldiers who signed the petition from their reserve service.
