Saturday, 15 January 2022 (YJC)_ Zionist officials have expressed concern about the reluctance of young people in the occupied territories to join combat units.
Avio Kokhawi, the chief of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Israeli army, expressed dissatisfaction with the unwillingness of the Israeli military to serve in combat units.
According to Al-Manar news network, he said in a speech that a large number of servicemen who have to complete their military service prefer not to spend their military service in combat units, but in technological units.
Kokhawi warned that this would reduce the regime's army's readiness for war, struggle and sacrifice in the fight against the enemy, reduce the size of combat units, and create a gap in the Israeli army's ability to conduct combat missions.
Zionist Channel 12 also wrote in a report that many young Israelis enter the medical field in order not to be forced to serve in combat units during their military service, so that they can avoid serving in combat units.
This Zionist network wrote:
Many recent polls show that many young Israelis are reluctant to spend their military service in combat units, and this wave is growing over time, but the military is trying to encourage young people to spend their military service in combat units.
