After three years of war, Fabian discusses the IDF’s efforts to handle its deployments and its desire to relieve the reserve army by expanding the Nachal and Golani infantry brigades with an additional battalion each.
After the Board of Peace issued a statement pressing Israel to allow more humanitarian aid into Gaza following tremendous rainfall, Fabian discusses responses from the IDF and COGAT, the Defense Ministry agency overseeing aid into Gaza, which allows tents and winter gear into the war-torn area but not prefabricated homes, which Israel says will end up being used by Hamas.
A Defense Ministry delegation is on an official trip to Morocco to inaugurate the defense attaché’s office, and Fabian notes the significance of having an Israeli military representative in an Arab country in North Africa.
