The government approved another extension of the emergency reserve call-up order (Tzav 8) through September 30, and reduced the maximum quota to 240,000 reservists, according to the government's announcement.
The government on Sunday morning approved an extension of the Tzav 8 emergency reserve call-up order until September 30, 2026, and reduced the quota for reservists liable for call-up to 240,000. The decision was announced by the government. The approval follows months of debate over the burden on reserve personnel, with the IDF having sought to retain broad mobilization authority. As The Zioneer reported earlier today, the extension was widely expected. The reduced quota may reflect an effort to ease the strain on reservists while maintaining operational readiness. The decision comes amid ongoing defense budget constraints; as The Zioneer reported on July 5, the IDF had been preparing to release 10,000 reservists by the end of the month due to budget pressures.
