Israel's Yediot Ahronoth reported that the Israeli army is facing a severe "manpower problem" in its war on Gaza, saying it demands an immediate addition of 7,000 soldiers.
The report comes as Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said he would only endorse a draft bill that would end military draft exemptions for ultra-Orthodox Jewish men if it gets support from centrist ministers.
