US EditionWhat to Know About Israel's Gaza Offensive as 60,000 IDF Reservists Are to Be Mobilized
Israel plans a major military action in Gaza City mobilizing 60,000 reservists to intensify pressure on Hamas amid revived ceasefire negotiations involving regional mediators.
- On August 20, 2025, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz approved new operational plans and ordered the mobilization of 60,000 reservists, while also extending the active duty of an additional 20,000 soldiers, in preparation for a potential ground assault on Gaza City.
- The mobilization was moved forward to support assault preparations amid concerns of lower turnout due to nearly two years of war and soldier fatigue.
- Prior to the deployment of forces into Gaza City, between 800,000 and 1 million people are instructed to move southward via a designated safe passage to the al-Mawasi region near Rafah, which was previously identified as a humanitarian zone.
- Gaza’s Health Ministry reports that approximately 61,500 Palestinians have died due to Israel’s military actions, a figure that Israel challenges without providing alternative numbers. Additionally, about 75% of Gaza is reportedly heavily damaged and mostly unlivable.
- The planned offensive and extended mobilization risk increasing civilian displacement and humanitarian disruption as ceasefire talks continue without response from Israel or the United States to Hamas’ mediator-backed proposal.
