Maariv newspaper said on Monday: "For the first time, the army admits that the attrition of its forces is large, but it is small compared to the scope of its tasks, and it estimates that it lacks about 7,500 soldiers." The newspaper added: "The army is currently facing a shortage of 300 officers in the positions of platoon commanders in the combat system of the ground forces." According to Maariv, the army acknowledged that "it is difficult to persuade good soldiers to join the officers' course, and in order to overcome the gap, veteran sergeants have been appointed as acting platoon commanders."
