The IDF has, for the first time, admitted that since the war began, soldiers have had to buy tens of thousands of pieces of equipment themselves rather than being supplied by the military, as reported by Arutz 7.

According to Channel 12 News, there have been shortages of critical tactical equipment, such as ballistic vests, helmets, and weapon accessories, in combat units in both the north and south, affecting their combat efficiency and endangering soldiers without proper gear.

Many soldiers also mentioned receiving broken, outdated, or worn-out equipment. In some instances, still not fully disclosed, soldiers claimed that only those who could afford up-to-date equipment survived.
