On June 11, local time, the Israel Defense Forces announced the launch of an extensive military restructuring and expansion plan, covering the Army, Navy, Air Force and Homeland Defense Force, aimed at dealing with defense shortcomings revealed after the attack by Hamas on October 7, 2023. This reform is led by Israel's Deputy Chief of General Staff Tamir Yadai, and some measures will be launched within the next few months. The main elements of the plan include building a new army division; rebuilding the 500th Armored Brigade, which was previously abolished; and expanding 2 brigades deployed in northern Israel. Furthermore, the Israeli Air Force will continue to expand its air defense system and plans to form a new attack drone force to improve long-range strike capability and tactical flexibility. The Israeli Navy, on the other hand, will focus on developing long-range combat capabilities, making it capable of strike and strategic deterrence in the Mediterranean and beyond.
