500 Officers Quit The Israeli Army

Around 500 Israeli officers have left the army since mid-2024 because of the onslaught on Gaza after 7 October, 2023. 

According to Israel Hayom the army is in a critical position as 500 officers holding the rank of major have left the army.

The newspaper which is describing the move as an “exodus” added this “caught the military leadership off guard and threatens force readiness.”

Meanwhile this piece of news is trending on the social media and speaks volumes about the deteriorating state of the Israeli army after 14 months of war on Gaza and the rest of the region.

One blogger contrasts the difference, underlying that Israeli soldiers are facing psychological and economic hardship while Hamas has been able to recruit 4000 new fighters in the past few months.
