Israeli Military Struggles with Shortages Amid Prolonged Conflict
The Israeli military is facing shortages of certain weapons and soldiers, according to local media reports. The ammunition used by the Israeli military in the three-year war was equivalent to the amount used over the previous 30 years.
As a result, a large number of tanks have worn out and are no longer fit for use. There is also a serious shortage of soldiers, with leave cancelled due to the ongoing conflict.
The purchase of 12 Apache attack helicopters from Boeing had been halted because of budget constraints, according to Channel 12.
Experts argue that while the Israeli military may not be facing an immediate shortage of weapons, its stockpiles have declined significantly due to prolonged use in the war. The military wants to replenish its stockpiles by procuring new weapons to replace those that have been used up or damaged.
