Tel Aviv has plans to expand its offensive across the Gaza Strip, but is facing a shortage of 10,000 soldiers
The Israeli army has announced that it will extend mandatory service by four months due to a growing manpower crisis, coinciding with an intensification of battles in Gaza and the resurgence of deadly resistance operations against invading troops.
The additional four months will be classified as reserve duty, allowing soldiers to complete a total of three years of military service.
The military will also cancel pre-release leave for soldiers. Troops will have to serve a full three years before being discharged.
This decision follows months of intense fighting and rising casualties, which have strained troop levels.
The extra four months will provide benefits for the soldiers, given that reserve duty is usually compensated by the Israeli government. The army states that its decision is temporary and aims to help alleviate the current troop shortages.
