Israeli Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir said on Sunday that the army needs more soldiers “immediately,” amid the escalating crisis surrounding the conscription of ultra-Orthodox Jews, or Haredim, and the continuation of military assaults on several fronts.
The remarks came in a meeting of the Knesset’s (parliament) Foreign Affairs and Security Committee, according to the Yediot Ahronot newspaper.

While ceasefires are officially in place on some fronts, Israeli violations continue unabated, deepening the toll on civilians across the region.
“I am not preoccupied with political or legislative processes, but rather focused on the multi-front war and on defeating the enemy,” Zamir said. “To continue doing this, the Israeli army needs more soldiers immediately.”
