Israeli Army Mobilises 100,000 Reservists Amid Escalating Iran Tensions

The Israeli military announced plans to call up nearly 100,000 reservists as part of its ongoing operations against Iran. According to the army, the mobilization is intended to increase readiness across multiple fronts under the codename Operation ‘Roaring Lion’, Israel’s designated name for the assault carried out in coordination with the United States.

Currently, around 50,000 reservists are already on active duty, reported The Times of Israel. The heightened military activity comes amid rising tensions in the region, following US-backed strikes and retaliatory measures.

In Gaza, the past 24 hours have seen Israeli attacks result in at least one death and seven injuries, according to the Health Ministry. Since the US-declared ceasefire took effect in October, at least 629 Palestinians have been killed. The ongoing conflict, which began in October 2023, has claimed more than 70,000 lives, highlighting the enduring humanitarian crisis in the region.
