27 Israel Pilots Refuse To Carry Out Air Strikes

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP)--A group of 27 Israeli reserve air force pilots signed a petition Wednesday stating they'll no longer agree to carry out air strikes against Palestinians.

The pilots called the attacks illegal and immoral.

The military had no immediate comment on the petition, an unprecedented protest from pilots.

Dozens of reserve soldiers in ground forces have opted to go to prison rather than serve in the West Bank and Gaza, reflecting growing Israeli unease with the protracted conflict.

The petition came as the leader of Hamas said Wednesday that his group wouldn't disarm or accept a truce, undercutting efforts by the incoming Palestinian prime minister to negotiate a cease-fire with Israel without confronting the militants.

Sheik Ahmed Yassin delivered his challenge to Prime Minister-designate Ahmed Qureia in his first high-profile appearance, a news conference at a Gaza City mosque, since Israel tried to kill the Hamas leader in a Sept. 6 air strike.

Yassin said Hamas wouldn't surrender its weapons."The weapons that our people carry to defend our land and our people, and nobody can confiscate them," he said."We can talk about this only after liberating the land. Taking weapons means surrender and defeat."

Yassin also said Hamas wouldn't agree to a truce with Israel; a unilateral cease-fire declared by Hamas and other militants June 29 collapsed in a burst of violence several weeks later.

"There is no place to talk about a truce because the enemy is continuing his aggression, killing and settlement activities," Yassin said, adding that"he who carries a bomb and blows himself up" is destined for paradise, referring to suicide attackers who have killed hundreds of Israelis.
