One-third of occupying tanks are damaged
Israeli military forces are experiencing a decline in readiness due to damage and deterioration of their vehicles and equipment, with estimates indicating that one-third of tanks are damaged, and some are without engines due to continuous use and the aging of the machinery. Additionally, hundreds of vehicles are out of service. The costs of the war are also rising significantly, with the expense of calling up reserve forces since the start of the war in October 2023 exceeding one-third of total expenditures, reaching approximately 280 billion shekels, including around 100 billion for salaries and compensations. The security establishment anticipates that the reserve forces' costs will increase to just 30 billion shekels by 2026, which threatens to impair operational capacity if the current escalation level of the war continues.
