Israel extends reserve alert how many involved and at what cost
Reports indicate that Israel has extended the call-up of reserve forces until September 30, with up to 240,000 soldiers being mobilized, as the war on Gaza continues along with military operations on multiple fronts including Lebanon, Syria, and Iran. This has significantly increased military spending. Since the beginning of the conflicts, the cost of maintaining reserve forces has reached around $32.7 billion, making it one of the largest components of military expenditure. The cost of maintaining each 10,000 reserve soldiers is estimated at about 5 billion shekels annually, with projections that the expenses in 2026 could reach approximately 30 billion shekels. The heavy reliance on reserve forces has put pressure on the budget and weakened the Israeli army’s human readiness.
