Senior commanders have warned that Israeli soldiers are experiencing exhaustion as fighting in Gaza has continued for nearly nine months now, Anadolu Agency reports citing Israeli public broadcaster KAN.
Commanders of four brigades operating in Gaza are said to have told Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the “soldiers are experiencing exhaustion due to continuous service for nine months.”
The broadcaster said military commanders met Netanyahu this week and stressed the necessity to take the soldiers’ fatigue into consideration.
They also claimed that they are close to dismantling Hamas in Gaza.
