Since the Israeli army launched an attack on the Gaza Strip on October 7, approximately 900 officers with the rank of captain and major have requested retirement. OFFICERS WANT TO RETIREIn a news broadcast on Israel's Channel 12 television, attention was drawn to the striking increase in the number of officers who want to retire since the start of the attacks on Gaza. MAIN REASON: OCTOBER 7 ATTACKSAccording to the report, the number of officers with the rank of captain and major who want to retire since October 7 has reached close to 900. The main reason cited by these officers requesting a review of retirement conditions is the October 7 attacks and the illegitimacy of the army. NUMBER OF RESIGNATIONS INCREASED 9 TIMES IN THE PAST YEARThe increasing unrest in the command ranks of the army has occasionally been brought to the agenda in recent months. While an average of 100 to 120 officers with the rank of captain and major retire from the Israeli army each year, the fact that this number has increased 9 times in the past year is considered a new crisis in the army.
