Soldiers report that due to severe shortages they often embark on operational activity without basic protective equipment. IDF Spokesperson: "The fighters do not go on operations without full protection".
IDF fighters currently serving in the Judea and Samaria sector claim to have been called to an operational event without life-saving ceramic vests due to a severe shortage in the army. "It's like sending a soldier to an ambush and giving him a plastic rifle," a source involved in the matter told Israel Hayom.
