Defense Minister Benny Gantz orders the voluntary call-up of Border Police reservists to bolster officers following a string of terror attacks in Israel.

Three companies — in total 300 officers — of reservists from the paramilitary police unit are to be brought in.

In a statement, Gantz says the move comes in response to requests from the Israel Police. The order is valid for 30 days.
