Financial crisis impacts Israeli army readiness
The Hebrew Broadcasting Authority forecasts that the financial crisis faced by the Israeli military is negatively affecting its operational readiness across several fronts, including Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon. The most significant repercussions involve a shortage of spare parts and delays in transferring defense budgets, which have led to the disabling of several tank brigades and the inability of damaged vehicles to return to service. The crisis has also worsened at the intelligence level, where information warehouses are overflowing, contracts for personnel have been terminated, and debts exceeding 15 billion shekels (about $5 billion) have accumulated. Additionally, there have been delays in increasing the budget allocated to the army to 183 billion shekels ($60.6 billion). There are concerns that if this crisis continues, it will weaken the army's readiness to face potential threats from Iran and the region, especially given the shortage of essential resources to sustain military operations.
