We've been through two major waves of IDF officer resignations/retirements.
pic related is from like early 2024 when they were all itching to retire. 2nd big wave of retirements was just recently, this summer.
So the IDF is going to be led by all knew leadership, and the Defense Minister won't even approve the new appointments because he's angling to fire the IDF Chief of Staff and blame him for the failures in Gaza and now Gaza City invasion.
