Israel cabinet votes to call up 40,000 reservists

The security cabinet has voted to call up some 40,000 reservists in preparation of a possible ground operation in Gaza Strip as part of Operation Protective Edge, hours after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the military to "take off the gloves" in its confrontation with Hamas.

Details:

IDF chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Benny Gantz requested the call-up of 40,000 reserves in order to replace conscripted forces in the West Bank, and enable their deployment to the Gaza border.

The Prime Minister's Office would not confirm reports that the security cabinet approved the request which was made hours after Operation Protective Edge was launched in an effort to quell rocket fire from the Gaza Strip.

Das ist die Meldung, die eine größere Auseinandersetzung möglich werden lässt.
Netanyahu hat zwar kaum Lust nach Gaza zu gehen, aber wenn die Hamas weitermacht wird es genau so kommen.
