Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected criticism of the Gaza war by some air force reservists, calling it "unforgivable".
The Israeli military said it would dismiss serving reservists who had signed a letter calling for the return of Israeli hostages to be prioritised over fighting Hamas.
The letter also says the current fighting is politically motivated and will lead to the deaths of the hostages, Israeli soldiers and innocent civilians.
The military said it could not allow serving reservists to engage in political protests.
Israel resumed its air and ground campaign in Gaza last month, saying that military pressure would force Hamas to release the hostages it is still holding.
