BBC May 5, 2025 Israeli army starts calling up reservists for planned expansion to Gaza offensive — Like Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu's sons Yair 33 and Avner 30
From: The Times of Israel May 6, 2025 Acknowledging ‘difficult’ call-up of reservists, IDF spokesman says military needs everyone, ‘including Haredim,’ to mobilize
IDF Spokesman Brigadier General Effie Defrin, in his press conference, says the call-up of tens of thousands of reservists for the intensified Gaza offensive is “difficult and complicated, but is being done: 1. to return our hostages 2. and to defeat [Hamas] 3. and end the war.”
He says that currently, for the missions at hand, the IDF has enough forces. But he adds that the military “needs everyone to mobilize,” and that the IDF will work to “draft all parts of society, including the Haredim.” Why aren't the Prime Minister's sons "mobilizing”
