Israel is deploying 60 thousand people for the Gaza operation

The Israel Defense Forces have called up 60,000 reservists as part of preparations for the "Gideon Wheels—2" operation to be held in Gaza City, Kursiv reported.

Additionally, another 20,000 reservists have extended their service. The operation was approved by Israel's Defense Minister Israel Katz.
