Air Force Pilots' Mutiny Shocks Israel
'Israel is reeling from the shock refusal of a group of air force pilots to carry out missions against Palestinians militants in which civilians could be killed.
'The Pilot's Mutiny' was how Israel's largest newspaper 'Yedioth Ahronoth' described ….speculated…whether other soldiers will follow suit….

I am posting this here since this pertains to the Israeli Air Force, even though not quite along with this thread.
This is a most extraordinary development especially when the militants have stepped up their terrorist strike the world over. I wonder what could have caused this quirk in behaviour.
This will have repercussion on the roadmap to the Palestinian Question. I just hope it will not cause suicide bombings to be stepped up since such violent and thoughtless actions lead to nowhere. There has been enough bloodletting. It has got to stop.
Since I have very little idea about Israel poltical environment, could some one explain all this? I believe that the Israeli armed forces are very professional.
