"לא ניתן לקיים קהילה בטוחה": עוד צמצום בכמות המילואימניקים בכיתות הכוננות

הערכה

The IDF is reducing the number of reservists assigned to local security squads in Gaza border communities, even as those towns struggle to repopulate. Residents of Kfar Aza and Nahal Oz warn that without enough armed civilians on standby, the safety net for a rapid emergency response is dangerously thin. The decision pits military manpower constraints against the existential need for trusted, immediate protection in communities still traumatized by October 7. Watch for whether local opposition forces a reversal or sparks a broader debate about how Israel defends its vulnerable border towns.
