The Israeli military announced a significant reduction in its reserve forces, signaling a shift from major combat operations to heightened border security measures. Thousands of reservists are being released from duty, with regular army units set to replace them in key areas along the northern border and the West Bank. This transition comes after months of intense fighting, particularly in Gaza, and involves the reassignment of elite soldiers to new positions. Military officials describe this move as part of a broader strategy to adjust to the current security landscape.
