Israeli Army Admits Many of Its Tanks Were Damaged

The Israeli forces admitted that they are facing a shortage of tanks and ammunition amid its ongoing aggression on the Gaza Strip.

According to the Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper and "24" TV channel, the army informed Israel’s Supreme Court that many of its tanks were damaged during the Gaza war and that its ammunition supplies were running low.

This confession came in response to a petition demanding the inclusion of female soldiers in the army’s Armored Corps.

Citing the court filing, the Israeli media reported, “The number of operational tanks in the corps is insufficient for the war needs and for conducting experiments on the deployment of women.”

They further noted that Army Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi has decided to postpone the integration of women into combat roles until November 2025 due to the severe shortage.

Military numbers reveal that at least 682 Israeli soldiers have been killed and over 4,100 injured since the Gaza conflict erupted on October 7, 2023.
