The Israeli occupation military is experiencing a soldier shortage.

Zionist media report that the army is in urgent need of at least 7000 fighters.

The army claims it can recruit 3,000 from the ultra-Orthodox Jewish community. However, in a previous recruitment year, only 1,200 out of approximately 13,000 eligible candidates enlisted.

The ultra-Orthodox are strongly opposed to participating due to their beliefs.

The Israeli occupation military has failed in its ground invasion of Gaza and Lebanon.

On both battlefronts it is being trapped and hit hard in ambushes.
