Israeli military warns of escalation risk
The Chief of Staff of the Israeli Army, Eyal Zamir, announced an elevation in alert levels in the region, as tensions in the West Bank escalate and the holiday period approaches. He stated that forces stationed in the area have been reinforced. Zamir indicated that Israel is currently maintaining a state of maximum readiness, with no plans to scale back military operations before the holidays. He also warned that the budget crisis is negatively affecting the army’s preparedness, noting that the monthly cost of servicing a non-religious Jewish reserve soldier is approximately 53,000 shekels, which is significantly higher than the cost of an active-duty soldier. This comes three years after the start of operations in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, and Syria, despite a reduction in the severity of the situation compared to the early stages.
