IDF runs drill for reservist call-up

Emanuel (Mannie) Fabian is The Times of Israel's military correspondent

The IDF says it is carrying out a reservist call-up drill this morning, during which the military is sending text messages and calling reservists on the phone.

The pre-planned drill is intended to test response times by reservists to a sudden call-up to duty.

The IDF says that the reservists are not expected to show up to their units, as it is a drill to test communications.
