Israel plans reserve call-up as officials brace for prolonged conflict The Israeli military is planning a large-scale mobilisation of reserve forces, with units expected to be deployed along the borders with the occupied West Bank and Jordan, according to Israeli Army Radio.

Meanwhile, Iran’s Mehr News Agency reported that air defence systems were activated in and around the western city of Kermanshah to counter what it described as hostile aerial targets.
