The IDF says it is delaying by several weeks a planned move to reduce the number of members of local security teams in towns in northern Israel.
The civilian security teams are staffed by reservists on active duty amid the war.
The IDF had planned to release many of those reservists in towns in northern Israel that are not close to the border.
The security teams in evacuated towns, within a few kilometers of the Lebanon border, were to remain unchanged.
The IDF says that following a new assessment of the situation, it was decided to postpone the reduction by several weeks.
