IDF Soldiers

Complaints in 2025 range from deficient vehicle defenses to racism, to blocking medical attention for certain soldiers, to invasion of privacy, to abusing military drivers for personal trips.

The suspects' arrests were extended until Wednesday, and one additional suspect, aged 12, was granted conditional release, the statement added. 

The suspects, who stole 4 kilograms of gold jewelry and more than NIS 100,000 in cash, were fully equipped with arms and full tactical uniforms.

The change marks some of the main lessons learned by IDF officials after October 7 and during the war with Hamas in Gaza, with one being the need for more tanks and a more offensive mindset.

Broadly speaking, the changes surround the agreement between the IDF and the Finance Ministry to reduce the number of standing reservists on duty on any given day from 60,000 to 40,000.

According to the IDF, another soldier, after following the proper arrest procedure, shot at the terrorist and killed him.

"I didn't really do my service, the way I see it. I served for ten months until I was kidnapped," Cohen said in an interview for N12's Ulpan Shishi.

Prosecutors rejected the soldier’s claim that he acted in self-defense and asked the court to keep him in custody until the legal proceedings are completed.

HaOgen for Reservist Families is the backbone sustaining nearly 40,000 reservist families – in 700 communities throughout the country and with a force of 20,000 volunteers.

Lack of sleep, according to the report, is the biggest problem that the observers, who are predominantly women, currently face.
