Israeli government to increase IDF reserve force recruitment cap

The Israeli government will approve an increase in the IDF reserve recruitment cap today. The current cap of 400,000 reserve soldiers will rise to 450,000 as part of Operation "Gideon's Chariots." This increase will be in effect until August 31, 2025. The new quota aims to maintain the required number of reserve soldiers for ongoing combat operations. The decision supports those currently on active reserve duty and their operational needs.
