NOURNEWS- While citing Israeli media, the Al Mayadeen website reported, that the regime's security agency is considering the possibility of reducing the number of reserve soldiers and removing some of them from the army's standby status. In the early days of the new round of conflicts between this regime and the Palestinian resistance, the Zionist regime called up about 360,000 army reserve soldiers from all over the world to be on the war fronts, which is the largest call-up since the October 1973 war.
According to published reports, now more than 8% of the workforce of the occupying regime of Jerusalem are present as soldiers on the war fronts.
While referring to the huge losses that the Gaza war has caused to the economy of the Israeli occupation regime since October 7th, the English website Financial Times previously had written: Demand has generally decreased in Israel, and companies have closed their doors, especially after consumers and workers left to join the Army and reserve forces, companies were evacuated from their employees.
About 40 days before and after the start of the Al-Aqsa storm operation, which marked a new round of intense military conflicts between the Palestinian resistance and the Zionist regime, the issue of resilience of each side of the conflict in a long war has always been one of the main issues of strategic affairs experts.
Although the Israeli government tried by calling hundreds of thousands of army reserve forces to pursue the strategy of intense and short-term war, while compensating for the initial failure, to achieve its set goals, including the destruction of Hamas and the complete release of prisoners, now more than forty days have passed since the start of the war, and while bearing heavy human and financial losses, none of the set goals have been achieved by the Zionist regime, and it is also facing a crisis of resilience.
Channel 13 of the Zionist regime recently published a report and announced: that the daily cost of military operations against Hamas is 200 million shekels (equivalent to 55 million dollars) and this figure does not include the daily economic losses caused by the closure of factories and companies and the damage caused by rockets raining on cities of Israel.
In a general view, the destructive consequences of the Al-Aqsa storm operation on the economy of the Zionist regime can include such things as; Disruption in oil, gas, and refinery operations, stoppage of export and import through ports, stoppage of large construction projects such as settlement construction, lack of funds due to borrowing for war expenses, sharp decrease in labor force, stock market crash, decrease in food security, decrease in the value of the shekel (currency unit) Zionist regime), damage to oil and gas transmission lines, reduction of foreign investment, stoppage of foreign tourists to the occupied territories and reduction of tourism and tourism income, damage to the agricultural sector due to the suspension of agricultural operations in war zones, shortage, and rarity of basic goods and a sharp decrease in the productivity rate in the public sector.
Based on this, the Zionist newspaper “The Times of Israel” announced that the credit outlook of the Zionist regime has decreased from “stable” to “negative” according to “Standard and Poor's”. This institution announced the reason for the reduction of the credit rating of the Zionist regime is due to the effects of the Al-Aqsa storm operation on the economy of this regime and furthermore, this institute predicted that the war will not continue for more than three to six months.
The mentioned set of factors, along with the growing political and social crises in the occupied territories and without achieving its declared goals, indicates that the Zionist regime is practically facing a crisis of resilience, and its new decision to reduce the number of reserve soldiers and withdrawing some of them from the state of military readiness in the army has also been made in reaction to these mentioned developments.
