We are not giving up on any of these missions." During the visit, which was conducted with the head of the IDF's Manpower Directorate, Major General Dadu Bar-Kalifa, the Prime Minister said, "This is the sixth recruitment cycle during the war, and the number of recruits is increasing from one recruitment to the next."
