Israel talks about the spirit of this war and the goal of victory. However, the current task of preparing the economy for a kind of total war is a herculean effort.
The effort, “Returning Eyes to Gaza,” is nearing completion.
Out of 32 current ministries, 25 could be said to be standard ministries that are essential to running the country as a Jewish and democratic nation.
The Defense Ministry is asking that donated gear meet certification and quality standards.
Amid concerns of equipment shortage, the IDF intends to distribute tens of thousands of much-needed vests, helmets, and other defensive items in the coming days.
The relief work will include handling electricity, gas, water infrastructure, clearing rubble, and cleaning.
The epic shock from this attack raises questions about Israel’s ability to confront other enemies.
