(Bloomberg) — Israel is calling up 300,000 army reservists as it prepares for an escalation in the conflict with Hamas after the militant group’s deadly attacks.

Israel has officially declared war and says it won’t stop until Hamas’s military infrastructure is dismantled, a task that would likely include a ground invasion and take months.
