Israel’s war on multiple fronts has not just worn down its enemy. It’s not just taken the lives of thousands of civilians in Gaza and Lebanon. It’s also continuing to demand a price from its own people.
Israel is becoming more and more weary of the war. Many will be relieved by the latest ceasefire agreement with Lebanon. Not least for IDF reservist Noam Glukhovsky, who has been working as a medic on the front lines for the majority of the last year.
Before the ceasefire was declared, we chatted with 33-year-old Noam in Tel Aviv. “We can’t keep doing this war for much longer. We just don’t have the manpower to keep going on without a clear end date and goal,” he said.
