'The reason the soldiers are cold is that it is cold right now... they carry lots of equipment and stuff, they have body armor, but they usually can't wear gloves because they can't handle equipment [read: fire a gun] with gloves on.' :

Karmela Menashe (does that woman ever sleep?!) interviews sadirnikim [enlisted soldiers] every day on Radio Bet and they all say they have plenty to eat etc.

There's going to be a restitution battle (for lost business) in the courts. But how far will they go? Is the fact that less people were out and about during our weeks under fire, which affected every business in every town, big enough? War is ugly.
