The IDF has decided to release the members of the emergency security squads (kitot konenut) in Gaza border communities located 4–7 km from the security fence, according to an IDF decision. Only the local security coordinator (ravshatz) in each community will remain on reserve duty. All reservists currently mobilized under emergency orders in the area are to be released shortly.
The move is part of a broader adjustment of IDF reserve deployments. In recent weeks, the IDF has released emergency squads in the northern border area and has been preparing to release approximately 10,000 reservists by the end of the month amid budget constraints, as The Zioneer has reported. The current decision specifically covers the Gaza envelope communities.
Further details on the timeline and security assessment behind the decision have not been disclosed.
