IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi delivered a message on Tuesday to the hundreds of thousands of reserve soldiers who have fought in the multi-front war since the Hamas-led invasion on Oct. 7, 2023.
“The IDF and the government are making a significant effort to reward the reservists. We are committed to you—that is the contract,” Halevi said during a situational assessment held in Netzarim Corridor that bisects the Gaza Strip between north and south.
