IDF calls up some reservists amid ‘abnormal’ Iranian troop movements
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA small number of reservists are being called up as the army put itself on high alert in northern Israel following “abnormal” activities by Iranian forces in Syria, an IDF spokesperson says.
The spokesperson would not elaborate on which units are being called up, but media reports indicated they were mostly from air defense, intelligence and Home Front Command units.
Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman is also meeting with the heads of Israel’s defense services in the army’s Tel Aviv headquarters to discuss the security situation, his office says.
