Ahead of publication of "Trachtenberg" "Israeli" Report tasked with reallocating budget, "Israeli" military apparatus officials warn against budget cuts, saying that setback could hinder deployment of Iron Dome; leave military reservists without uniforms, equipment.

"Israeli" "Y Net" reported Monday that the plan to cut back War Ministry's budget by NIS 3 billion as part of the "Trachtenberg" Committee recommendations, appointed to deal with the social protest stirred a storm in the Zionist security establishment.

"Now officials at the General Staff are going for the offensive, and claiming: No budget - no protection," it added.

""Israel" will not be able to protect itself from missiles fired from Lebanon and Syria. The enemy will grow stronger while the scope of threats is becoming wider with the current changes in the Middle East," an "Israeli" military official warned.
 

Accusing the "Israeli" Treasury of completely ignoring the implications of the budget cuts, the military official stressed that "fighting spirit and motivation are important - but keeping an army strong and advanced costs money."

"We don't know how to begin 2012 with this budget," said the officials clarifying that the ""Israeli" army will not have money for basic stuff such as uniform and equipment for reserve soldiers, transportation home, ammunition for training, and some of the squadron's will have to be grounded."
