Israel’s military has said it lacks more than 10,000 soldiers, including about 6,000 for combat units, as it presses an intensified campaign in the Gaza Strip, Al Jazeera reports.
The army “lacks over 10,000 soldiers, including about 6,000 combat soldiers. This is a genuine operational need, and that’s why we’re taking all necessary steps”, army spokesperson Brigadier General Effie Defrin said in a televised news conference when asked about the conscription of ultra-Orthodox Jews into the army.
