IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eizenkot has announced that he intends to cut back the Military Rabbinate and the Education Corps by about 25 percent, Army Radio reports.
The restrictions are part of a process by which Eizenkot intends to make the military more efficient. The plan for the project is to be finished by November.
It is not certain what effects this will have, though the Education Corps is warning that may have to close programs such as the army preparatory program Gadna.
The IDF says that combat units will not face any cuts.
