I read the articles - The excellent point is that, if I read them correctly, was not that the reserve pilots concerned were over worried about the policy of retaliation/assasination, but that they were concerned about collateral damage/killing inocent civilians.

It is a mark of the humanitarian principals of those who founded he IAF that the final choice on Weapon release/opening fire is left to the piolot involved, not "orders" from the CO or ground controller.
