The IDF will begin mobilizing 60,000 reservists on Tuesday in one of the largest call-ups of the war, as the military shifts its weight toward Gaza ahead of a planned ground offensive on Gaza City.
According to the IDF, the majority of the new reservists — between 40,000 and 50,000 — are scheduled to report for duty on September 2. Two additional waves are planned in the coming months: one in November–December and another in February–March 2026.
The new deployment adds to the tens of thousands of reservists already in uniform, marking a dramatic expansion of Israel’s war footing. Military officials confirmed that roughly 20,000 reservists currently serving will have their tours extended by 30 to 40 days.
In total, the IDF expects to have around 130,000 reservists active at the height of the offensive.
The mobilization underscores Israel’s preparations for a major push into Gaza City, where military planners say Hamas’s last organized forces remain entrenched.

That is what the hertical Medina deserves!! Instead of sending these soldiers to the Beit Medrash, they continue this absurd war for two years.
I want to spend all my time in the beis medrash so that I can start to think like “mordechai hayehudi”, for shabtai tzvis sake.
I will continue to Daven for their safety and success – all of my grown sons have been called up once again.

I will continue to daven for your children, my children, and all the others who have been in and out of the hell for almost two years. Let’s not forget those on the side like the air force technicians who kept the machines running perfectly and the boys on the boats and in the subs. The overworked holy healthcare workers returning many from the dead
And hatslacha to those from charedi homes who joined up because it is morally right.
I daven they should all run away from the army and any danger.
@cowdoc – thank you – really. I truly appreciate Tefilos for the safety and success of our soldiers, especially the Tefilos of others who truly understand what it’s like to have loved ones putting themselves in danger for the sake of Klal Yisrael.
@somejew – I’ll daven for your Teshuva – or refu’a sheleima. I’m not sure which of those two you need, but whichever it is, I hope you get it.
