A classified document obtained by The Jerusalem Post revealed the extent of the demand for military equipment in the weeks following the October 7 massacre: 350 requests.

The document was presented in the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee on October 23 and includes nearly 350 requests for military equipment gathered by an ad-hoc call center that MKs formed in the days after the massacre.

Notably, many of the requests came from regular army units and not just from reserve units. More surprisingly, this included special units.

Other requests were submitted by specific individuals, and one even came from a municipality.
