Israel began mobilising tens of thousands of reservists on Tuesday as part of its plan to widen its offensive in Gaza City, which has sparked opposition domestically and condemnation abroad.
The call-up, announced last month, comes as ground and air forces press forward and pursue more targets in northern and central Gaza, striking parts of Zeitoun and Shijaiyah, two western neighbourhoods of Gaza City that the IDF has repeatedly moved into during the 23-month war against Hamas militants.
