reservists

IDF reserves, or miluim, refers to the reservist duty many Israelis have to do for several years after they finish their regular military service.

While many Israelis are regularly called up for reserve duty for training, on occasion the IDF can put out a mass call-up for reservists during times of conflict, as was the case following the October 7 massacre when Israel launched a war against Hamas in Gaza.
