Overview
- Israel has called up roughly 60,000 reservists for operations in Gaza City as refusal campaigns gain visibility.
- Soldiers for Hostages reports over 360 soldiers declining to serve, while SOS says it speaks for nearly 1,000 mothers.
- The military cites no figures on absences, says it evaluates each case, and reports no operational disruption so far.
- At least three members of the Soldiers for Hostages cohort have been jailed this year for refusal, according to the group.
- Mass protests and recent polling favoring a hostage-for-ceasefire deal reflect wider discontent, alongside reports of 48 remaining hostages and heavy casualties on both sides.
