The Israel Defense Forces announced it will end the practice of extending conscripted soldiers' service by four months, allowing those drafted in March 2023 to be released in November instead of March 2026. However, special forces trainees will see their service extended, with future recruits required to serve additional months as career soldiers depending on their unit. The changes are part of an effort to balance the military's manpower needs with the strain of prolonged conflict, and will not affect soldiers already serving.

In response to growing fatigue and declining turnout among reservists, the government has approved new tax benefits for combat reservists, granting income tax credit points based on days served. The move aims to recognize the sacrifices of reservists, many of whom have faced emotional and financial hardships due to extended deployments. Military officials have also announced plans to reduce the number of reservists deployed to active combat zones in the coming months.
