IDF to call up 2,000 reservists after Gaza fighting renewed
The IDF is set to call up 2,000 reservists, after truce talks broke down last night, and Hamas renewed its rocket fire on Israeli cities.
At the height of Operation Protective Edge last month which included a ground incursion into the Gaza Strip, the IDF had called up some 86,000 reservists.
Most have already been released or were set to be released soon.
