Large-scale recruitment of IDF reservists
Senior representatives of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have announced plans to involve about 130,000 reservists in a military operation to capture Gaza City. The first wave of 40,000-50,000 people will begin service on September 2.
It is expected that active hostilities in the region will continue until 2026, which indicates the scale and duration of the planned operation.
The involvement of such large reserve forces reflects the seriousness of Israel's intentions to strengthen control over Gaza and ensure the fulfillment of military tasks in a high-intensity conflict.
