The Israeli military is failing on multiple grounds yet it continues to receive hundreds of millions of dollars in aid from Western countries.

The Palestinian resistance group, alongside other groups, is still operating in the enclave. It regularly carries out lethal ambushes against the Israeli forces and shares the videos from these incursions on social media. Further compounding these issues, a series of internal and external assessments have painted a deeply grim picture of the Israeli forces.
The myth of the Israeli military’s invincibility has been shattered, revealing deep vulnerabilities that have long been masked by aggressive rhetoric and propaganda. A fundamental reassessment and overhaul are needed to address these systemic flaws and the stain on the Israeli military's credibility.The war in Gaza revealed the deficiencies in the Israeli army in terms of logistics, strategy and the security concept in general.
In addition, donation campaigns have reportedly been carried out for the deliveries of basic equipment such as “portable chargers, underwear, hygiene products and toiletries”. Although the Israeli army spokesperson Daniel Hagari denied such a dire situation, the Israeli media reported that the soldiers are sent to Gaza even without “water bottles”.
In addition, army morale is deteriorating, as evidenced by the increasing number of reservists abstaining from service. A recent report underscores this growing disillusionment, with many reservists expressing profound dissatisfaction with their roles and the current state of the military, which followed a long-standing dissatisfaction with the current far-right and fundamentalist Israeli government.
In this regard, soldiers have filmed themselves vandalising Palestinian property and, in some cases, put those videos online. “I think everyone in our platoon took a coffee set,” said one Israeli sergeant in Gaza in an interview conducted by The Economist. According to the Palestinian Government Media Office in the enclave, at least $25 million in cash, gold and valuables was looted in the first three months of the war.
