"In January 2027, due to the reduction of mandatory service to 30 months, the IDF [Israeli army] will lose thousands more combat soldiers," Zamir told the committee.

"The reserve army will collapse into itself," he added, according to i24news.

Zamir warned MPs that after nearly three years of war on multiple fronts, the military is facing a severe manpower shortage that could undermine future operations.
