IDF sends two brigades, one infantry and one armored, to reinforce Gaza division
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Israeli military sends two brigades to bolster the forces deployed near Gaza and calls up reservists for air defense units, an indication it is preparing for the possibility that the political echelon will order a forceful response to a Gaza rocket attack that struck a home in central Israel, injuring seven people.
The two reinforcement brigades — one infantry and the other armored — had been conducting training exercises which were cut short due to the heightened tensions. They constitute over 1,000 additional soldiers deployed to the IDF’s Gaza Division, a significant increase.
The military says a small number of reservists are also being brought in to serve on Iron Dome missile defense systems.
