Israeli reservists swarm into Gaza

Sun, 11 Jan 2009 19:55:44 GMT | Presstv.ir

Israel has begun sending reservists into the beleaguered Gaza Strip in the wake of a massive ground operation in the populated territory.

The military has started the deployment of the reservists into the strip to join the regular army in the ground operation, Israel's Channel Two reported Sunday.

Tel Aviv called up thousands of reservists shortly after the launch of Operation Cast Lead against the Gaza Strip on December 27.

Israeli authorities had earlier said that the reservists were being amassed along the Gaza border only as a precautionary measure, to avoid the 'mistakes' they made during the 33-day war on Lebanon, which led to Tel Aviv's humiliating defeat.

The operation which escalated into a ground incursion on January 3 has so far left at least 890 people killed and more than 3,800 others wounded.
