Over a hundred IDF reserve officers appealed to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday and IDF Chief of Staff Aviv Kochavi, asking that the two should do everything in their power to prevent atrocities against the Kurds in Syria, after American forces withdraw from the region, KAN news reported.
