Some of the battalions will be assigned to the Central Command, and some will replace units in the Northern and Southern Commands.
The IDF clarified that subject to the Chief of Staff's decision and in light of the operational need, some of the reserve battalions would be summoned by an exceptional order, with a notice of at least three weeks.
