It is reported that Israel will draft 60,000 reservists to expand its offensive in Gaza.
Jin10 data reported on August 20 that, according to an Israeli government official, despite being prepared to respond to the new ceasefire proposal, the Israeli military still plans to call up about 60,000 reservists to increase its offensive against Hamas in Gaza. The official stated that the call-up announcement could be issued as early as Wednesday. This move would nearly double the number of military personnel deployed in or around Gaza. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has recently approved ground forces to take over Gaza City—the de facto capital of Palestinian territories—with the aim of destroying the remaining strongholds of Hamas.
