The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Technology and Logistics Directorate has collected over 300,000 pieces of military equipment in a special operation that began on November 1st. Due to the high response rate, the IDF has extended the operation by two days, concluding on November 16th. The initiative, which started at 62 collection points nationwide, allows active soldiers and reservists to return weapons, ammunition, and other military equipment taken during their service without facing legal repercussions or needing to identify themselves.
In the first two weeks alone, approximately 210 weapons were returned, along with around 3,800 stun grenades, fragmentation grenades, mortars, and launchers. Additionally, the IDF collected about 8,700 uniform items and textiles, 3,000 weapon accessories, 1,600 combat gear items including vests and helmets, and 430 medical equipment pieces.
The IDF emphasized that the legal immunity granted to those returning equipment will expire once the operation ends. Following the conclusion of the amnesty period, enforcement against the unlawful removal and possession of military equipment will resume.
