🚨 REPORT: IDF RECALLING COMBAT SOLDIERS DISCHARGED ONLY MONTHS AGO

The IDF has been calling up combat soldiers who completed mandatory service only months ago amid a growing manpower shortage, The Jerusalem Post reports, citing Walla.

Senior officers are weighing whether to publicly address a shortfall of about 15,000 soldiers. A senior reserve officer described mounting burnout after three years of fighting.

Commanders reported self-employed reservists struggling financially and recently discharged soldiers being ordered back into uniform as debate continues over a new conscription law.

After a monthlong deployment, the IDF is withdrawing the 98th Division
