Israel plans reserve call-up as officials brace for prolonged conflict The Israeli military is planning a large-scale mobilisation of reserve forces, with units expected to be deployed along the borders with the occupied West Bank and Jordan, according to Israeli Army Radio. The broadcaster also reported that Israel’s security establishment believes it is at the beginning of a military confrontation that could last several days.
