- Zionist squad leaders: Fatigue among soldiers after 9 months of war
Leaders of 4 Zionist military squads in Gaza warned that fatigue is starting to show among soldiers as the war has continued since October 7th last year.
The Hebrew Broadcasting Authority quoted team leaders as speaking about the increasing state of boredom and criticism among the fighters and leaders of the "Israeli" reserve forces operating in Gaza, due to what they consider "inequality in bearing the burdens of military service with the Haredim and insufficient wages", warning that this has a "negative impact" on the performance of the "army" in the field of combat, according to the "Quds Press" agency.
The occupation forces leaders explained to Netanyahu that "destroying tunnels and infrastructure" belonging to Hamas will take "a long time".
The Hebrew source also pointed out that the four leaders met the Prime Minister Netanyahu earlier this week, and emphasized the need to take into account that a state of fatigue is beginning to show on the soldiers after nine months of war.
