The Israeli occupation government has approved a sweeping decision to mobilize up to 450,000 reservists under the emergency military directive known as Order 8, marking the most extensive reservist mobilization since the war erupted on October 7, 2023.

Despite the magnitude of the mobilization, Israeli media reports indicate that the move was made amid serious legal reservations. A legal opinion accompanying the decision highlighted significant complications in renewing emergency draft orders, largely due to the government’s failure to implement adequate measures to increase enlistment within the Haredi community.

Observers note that the lack of governmental action to address these gaps casts doubt on the legitimacy and sustainability of such large-scale mobilization efforts.

      Possibly trying to colonize the northern part of Gaza. International pressure is starting to rise and they might want to steal some land before “accepting a ceasefire” in classic Israeli fashion.

      By their own words they are fighting “(human) animals”, just saying. I sometimes have a hard time telling if some of the things they say are from 1933-1945s Germany or 1948-today’s Israel
