The Island
|August 21, 2025
The Times of Israel yesterday (20) reported that some 60,000 Israeli reservists were set to receive call-up orders that the military will issue, starting Wednesday, for an offensive against Hamas in Gaza City, after Defence Minister Israel Katz approved the Army's plans, according to the Israel Defense Forces and security officials.
-
The orders were not immediate, but rather slated to take place in several waves. The majority — around 40,000-50,000 — would be ordered to show up for duty on 02 September. Another wave would take place in November-December, and a third wave in February-March 2026, the IDF said.
The number of reservists being called up is in addition to tens of thousands of reservists who are currently serving in the reserves.
