Given the recent drop in its manpower due to a wave of reluctance to join the ranks of the reserves, a senior Israeli reserve officer cautioned that the occupation army is not prepared to fight and win a new war, condemning the judicial reforms.

The army is not prepared for the next conflict, which might happen in a few months or years, according to officer Yitzhak Brik. He continued, saying "the army should have been kept out of politics because what is happening is mass suicide, and those are crazy people," and that the army is on the verge of disintegrating.
