Some 60,000 Israeli reservists are set to receive call-up orders that the IDF will issue starting tomorrow for the planned offensive in Gaza City, provided Defense Minister Israel Katz approves the move, according to security sources.

The orders are not immediate, and the reservists will be given at least two weeks before needing to report for duty.

The number of reservists being called up is in addition to tens of thousands of reservists who are currently serving in the reserves.

Not all of the reservists being called up are expected to participate in the operation to capture Gaza City, as some will instead be replacing standing army troops on other fronts.
