Israeli Army Reportedly Faces Troop and Equipment Shortage, May Halt Leave
An Israeli newspaper cited by Anadolu Agency says the military lacks sufficient tanks and armored personnel carriers after three years of conflict, prompting consideration of a halt to soldier leave.
The Israeli army is facing a severe shortage of troops and military vehicles, according to a report by an Israeli newspaper cited by Turkey's Anadolu Agency on Thursday.
The newspaper reported that the military does not have enough tanks and armored personnel carriers to meet operational needs, attributing the shortfall to hundreds of vehicles being damaged during three years of war.
As a result, the report said, the army is preparing to halt leave for soldiers in an effort to address the personnel shortage.
Anadolu Agency did not name the specific unit numbers affected or provide further details on the scope of the vehicle damage or the timeline for any leave suspension.
The report could not be independently verified. Israeli military officials have not issued a public statement on the matter as of this report.
