Reservists of the 2nd Brigade (Carmeli) were summoned Thursday morning for a 107-day reserve duty period later this year, according to a report. The call-up comes after the brigade completed operational activity in the Gaza sector about six months ago, underscoring the ongoing burden on reserve forces in the third year of the war.
The Carmeli Brigade (2nd Brigade) reservists were summoned Thursday morning for a 107-day reserve duty stint later this year, according to a report. The brigade had completed an operational tour in the Gaza sector only about six months ago, meaning many reservists face a third consecutive year of extended service.
The Zioneer has previously covered the growing reserve burden. Data published by the IDF in June showed an average of 94 days of reserve service in 2024 and 78 in 2025, with 37 percent of reservists being parents. Individual stories, such as reservists marking 100 consecutive days on the northern border and a business owner accumulating debts of about 1 million shekels, highlight the personal toll.
The exact dates of the call-up are not yet specified. The summons reflects the military's continued reliance on reserve forces amid legislative delays in extending mandatory service, as The Zioneer reported last week.
