The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced on Sunday that approximately two reserve brigades are being called in for Gaza 'operational activities' following a situational assessment. This decision is aimed at ensuring continuous efforts and readiness to defend the state of Israel and the security of civilians, as stated by the IDF.
While the IDF has not provided specific details regarding these operational activities, the move comes amidst escalating tensions in the region. The recent escalation began when Iran launched a barrage of missiles and drones towards Israel in response to a suspected Israeli strike on the Iranian consulate in Damascus, Syria, earlier this month.
