The IDF says it is bolstering all fronts with dozens of companies of in-training combat troops, during the Jewish holiday season.
The move comes following a “multi-front assessment,” the army says.
The IDF says it reinforced “the combat sectors with forces in the air, at sea, on land, and across all formations throughout the country.”
The combat trainees will remain deployed until mid-October, before returning to their programs.
