Israeli Army Diminishes as aid cut
The article reveals an increasing depletion of the Israeli army in terms of human and material losses resulting from confrontations in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, and the West Bank, in addition to facing Iran. Estimates indicate that the long-term costs of military deployment are rising, with equipment and personnel deteriorating, especially as the war continues and reserve soldiers' needs persist. Regarding funding, Israel announced that it will suffice with half of the usual U.S. aid, which had exceeded $33 billion over the past decade, despite Washington being willing to approve a support agreement for ten years at the same amount. It is estimated that the monthly cost of maintaining the reserve force is about 2.1 billion shekels, equivalent to the price of seven F-35 fighter jets or 70 Merkava tanks. The figures also show that 1,138 soldiers have been killed, and 11,730 wounded with bruises and psychological injuries, significantly impacting the personal lives of families, with 75% experiencing changes in their daily routines. The army maintains around 53,000 reserve soldiers daily for deployment in Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria, despite the rising costs, necessitating a reduction in forces to preserve resources and personnel.
