The regime’s Golani Brigade is mostly made up of elite soldiers who carry out armed attacks against and have participated in almost all the wars waged by the regime.
Unrest inside the Israeli military has been on the rise recently, particularly over the cabinet’s so-called judicial overhaul package, which aims to boost the cabinet’s power at the expense of the regime’s top court.
Notably, over 10,000 reservist soldiers, including members of the elite intelligence unit 8200 and air force pilots, have declared their refusal to show up for duty on a voluntary basis in protest to the overhaul plan.
Also, cases of suicide within the Israeli occupation forces have grabbed headlines recently, with observers blaming a mental health epidemic among soldiers.
