IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir reportedly warned during a security cabinet meeting last night that the military will “collapse in on itself,” as it faces mounting operational demands and a growing manpower shortage.
“I am raising 10 red flags before you,” Zamir reportedly told ministers, according to Channel 13 news.
“The IDF now needs a conscription law, a reserve duty law, and a law to extend mandatory service,” he is quoted as saying. “Before long, the IDF will not be ready for its routine missions and the reserve system will not hold.”
Not good news for the war effort. I wonder if they will expect the US to pick up the slack?
