The Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee votes 4-2 to approve a government-requested extension of emergency military mobilization until September 30.
The approval allows the IDF to call up a maximum of 240,000 reservists.
Such extensions have been granted every few months since the outbreak of war in Gaza.
