A reserve soldier who refused to show up for a battalion training has been tried, and was ordered by his commander to pay a fine of 1,000 NIS, Kan News reported.
The soldier's refusal to participate was spurred by, and part of, the recent protests against judicial reform.
"I will not serve under a government which is rushing towards revolution laws," the soldier said.
In March, 650 refused to report for duty, among them 450 officers and soldier from the Military Intelligence Special Operations Division and 200 from the IDF's cyber warfare units. A few days later, 200 IAF pilots informed their commander that they will not be taking part in reserve duty in protest of judicial reform.
In April, it was clarified that those refusing to serve in the reserves due to protests against the government will face consequences.
Last week, several hundred reserve pilots said they will refuse to serve unless the judicial reform is dropped.
