The Knesset approved the extension of the emergency reserve call-up order (Tzav 8) through September 30, with a quota of 240,000 reservists, according to Israeli media reports. The measure gives the IDF the authority to call up reservists for emergency service.
The government had previously approved the extension on July 26, as The Zioneer reported. The Knesset's ratification provides the legislative basis for the IDF to continue calling up reservists at scale.
The extension comes amid a severe personnel crisis in the IDF. Senior officers have warned that the combat force is nearing collapse without service extensions, and the military has faced record draft evasion rates. The quota of 240,000 reflects the scale of the manpower challenge.
