Israeli Army Faces Tank Spare Parts Shortage
The Israeli Army is facing a severe financial crisis that is impacting its operational capabilities. It is suffering from a budget shortage and accumulated debts exceeding 15 billion shekels (about 5 billion dollars). This has led to the disruption of several tank battalions due to a lack of spare parts, and the halt of manufacturing lines for tank and artillery shells, as well as mortar bombs. Additionally, repairs for hundreds of vehicles damaged in Lebanon are delayed. The army's intelligence capabilities have also been affected, as storage spaces have become full and some units have had to lay off soldiers due to funding shortages. Despite an increase in the approved budget from 143 billion to 183 billion shekels, the first installment of the additional funds has not been transferred, threatening the army’s readiness and its plans to counter multiple threats.
