Will the existing conscription model meet the needs of the IDF after the Gaza war?
Israel will need a much larger army to fight a multi-front war, some of those now receiving early discharges may stay in service for longer periods since stricter criteria for release will be put in force. One lesson of the present war is a renewed recognition of border defense so the IDF will invest more resources in training and deploying forces for this mission along with the continued preparation for a broader war.
