In recent years... there has been a methodical crackdown, and the timeline has been quite extended, not a sudden decision.

Military World Network News: On the 20th, the Chief of Staff of the Israel Defense Forces, Zamiir, said that the IDF is currently in a “highest level of alert,” has prepared for any developments, and will continue to carry out operations. Zamiir held a meeting with all divisional commanders to assess the forces’ readiness and the progress of multi-line fighting. He said that in recent years, the IDF has carried out “systematic, forceful, and step-by-step” strikes against Iran and its allies. Currently, the IDF is strengthening forward-defense deployments across operational areas along the border, and in the future will continue to carry out actions on multiple battlefields. In addition, Zamiir said that to complete various tasks and ease the pressure on reservists, the IDF needs to expand the size of its service personnel, which is a “key issue” concerning the IDF’s operational capability.
