A message attributed to an IDF soldier on the Syria border expresses anger over operational restrictions, asking "Don't we have enough work?" regarding the Syrian frontier. The post was circulated on the source and fits a pattern of reported soldier grievances over limited rules of engagement, as previously covered by The Zioneer.
A message posted Sunday evening on the source and attributed to an IDF soldier voiced sharp frustration with operational restrictions on the Syria border. The post reads: "Don't our forces have enough work? 😡 Syria border," implying that the military is not sufficiently active in that sector.
