IDF estimates: Shortage of 10,000 soldiers and gap in tank and APC capability

The army is discussing the situation in the various sectors, and the adequacy of resources and manpower. • The discussions raised a shortage of fighters and combat support personnel and a gap in equipment adequacy - partly due to the silent embargo. • The gaps could dictate the schedules for carrying out upcoming missions. • Chief of Staff: I did not come to stop the fighting; we will implement the cabinet's directives in the best possible way - and we will do everything not to endanger hostages.
