Israel to Mobilise 60,000 Reservists Ahead of Expanded Gaza City Operation
The New Indian Express Vishakapatnam
|August 21, 2025
Israel's military said Wednesday that it will call up 60,000 reservists ahead of an expanded military operation in Gaza City, where many Palestinians have chosen to stay despite the danger as seeking safety seems increasingly futile amid the growing humanitarian crisis.
-
Calling up extra military reservists is part of a plan Defense Minister Israel Katz approved to begin a new phase of operations in some of Gaza's most densely populated areas, the military said.
The plan, which is expected to receive the chief of staff's final approval in the coming days, also includes extending the service of 20,000 additional reservists who are already on active duty.
In a country of fewer than 10 million people, the call-up of reservists is the largest in months and carries economic and political weight.
