Recent days have seen hundreds of thousands of reservists drafted for anticipated large-scale operations against the Hamas terror group in Gaza.
Reserve soldiers from all over the country have been taking to social media to complain that they are not properly equipped by the military, with many seeking to privately purchase the required gear.
As the complaints have multiplied, Israelis have set up numerous social media groups and grassroots operations to try to match the needs with local donors and supplies. Offers of supplies and financial assistance have also started coming in from abroad.
Yesterday, the head of the IDF Logistics Directorate, Maj. Gen. Mishel Yanko, told a media briefing that civilians were welcome to donate funds for “treats” via the Association for the Wellbeing of Israel’s Soldiers, but that the army would supply the necessary equipment.
