Part 7/15:
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has called up approximately 60,000 reserve troops for an offensive in Gaza, but commanders admit enlistment enthusiasm has waned. Reports from soldiers reveal a deep sense of disillusionment; some are resentful, believing the war has dragged on unnecessarily and criticizing Prime Minister Netanyahu for prolonging the conflict for political motives. Veteran soldiers assert that Hamas's tactics—guerilla warfare, underground networks, infiltration—make total victory elusive, eroding confidence in the military strategy.
