Israel’s Reservists Face Exhaustion Amid Ongoing Conflict
Israel’s ongoing conflict has led to growing war weariness among its reservists. Noam Glukhovsky, an IDF medic, expresses his reluctance to return to the front lines, advocating for a clearer end to the fighting. The military’s reliance on reservists is challenged as turnout rates decrease, highlighting a divide over military service responsibilities, particularly with the Haredi Jewish community. Brigadier General Ariel Heimann warns that continued strain could jeopardize the IDF’s effectiveness, as the government navigates social tensions surrounding conscription.
