TEL AVIV — For nine months, Eyal Naveh and his protest group urged army reservists to refuse to volunteer for military service unless the Israeli government reversed its plan to overhaul the justice system.
But minutes after hearing about the Oct. 7 attacks by Hamas militants, the 47-year-old former commando and other Brotherhood leaders urgently called on members to report to work immediately.
