Defense Minister of Israel Yoav Gallant said that "the year 2024 will be a year of war and also a year of victory," at a ministerial planning conference for this year, Paralel.Az reports citing i24news.

Gallant said Israel must face its challenges "for everyone" at the conference, attended by the ministry's Director-General Major General (Ret.) Eyal Zamir and the heads of the ministry's divisions.

"We will need all our soldiers - regular and reserve, each in turn," he said.

"We will need a mobilization of all parts of the nation and all parts of society to go 'under the stretcher,'" he added, amid the government's calls for broader enlistment.
