Israeli army calls up additional reserve brigade to bolster its invasion of Lebanon
JERUSALEM (AA) – The Israeli army has called up an additional reserve brigade to its northern border to bolster its invasion of Lebanon.
“In accordance with the situational assessment, the IDF (army) is calling up an additional reserve brigade for operational missions in the northern arena,” a military statement said.
“This will enable the continuation of combat efforts against Hezbollah and the achievement of the goals of the war, including the safe return of the residents of northern Israel to their homes,” the statement added.
On October 1, the Israeli army announced the call-up of four reserve brigades to bolster operations on the northern border with Lebanon.
The army also announced last Tuesday that five military divisions are engaged in operations on the front with Lebanon.
A division typically consists of two or more brigades, with over 10,000 soldiers, according to military definitions.
Israel dramatically escalated its massive bombing campaign across Lebanon against what it alleges are ‘Hezbollah targets’ since September 23, killing at least 1,437 people, injuring over 4,123 others, and displacing more than 1.34 million people.
