Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): The Ma'ariv newspaper reported that the regime's army is currently facing a shortage of 12,000 conscripts, 9,000 of whom are combat troops.
The newspaper reported that if laws such as mandatory military service for Haredis, the "Law extending service to 36 months," and the "Law for Reserve Forces" are not passed, this shortage will reach 17,000 by the end of this year.
A source in the Israeli military reported that the regime's army has sent new summonses to thousands of members of the "Haredi" (ultra-Orthodox) community in recent days.
According to this source, the Israeli army's manpower department has presented a plan that seeks to establish permanent service contracts for conscripts. This measure will mostly include special forces, including combat engineers.
Maariou concluded by reporting that army commanders had previously promised that the reserve force’s service limit in 2026 would be a maximum of 70 days, but manpower officials admit that due to the war against Iran, soldiers have now received emergency call-up orders, known as Order 8.
