The Israeli occupation army faces successive crises affecting its military performance. The emergence of serious crises in the occupation army is a strong indication of a profound failure during the war on the Gaza Strip.
This also raises a major question about the reality of who is fighting the war, in light of talk about the presence of foreign soldiers on the battlefield. Israeli media reported that the army is suffering from a shortage in personnel, and that it needs about 7,000 additional officers. The Israeli Channel 14 revealed a massive wave of mass resignations that included a large number of officers and officials.
