Israeli opposition leader Lapid accused the government on the 26th of pushing for military actions in multiple directions simultaneously, leading to a strain on forces and pushing the country towards a "security disaster". Earlier, Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Zamir had warned that the army was on the brink of internal collapse. Opposition leader and leader of the "Future" Party, former Prime Minister Lapid, said in a television speech on the 26th that the government's lack of clear strategy and severe lack of troops had put heavy pressure on the military by involving them in multiple operations, weakening the country's security defense capability and pushing the country towards a "security disaster". According to Israeli news channel i24 on the 26th, Zamir warned at a security cabinet meeting on the 25th that the army was on the verge of internal collapse under continuous operational pressure, even saying that he had issued "ten warnings". The report noted that the IDF is currently maintaining military operations in multiple directions including the Gaza Strip and northern Israel, placing continuous pressure on its forces by mobilizing reserve forces for an extended period.
