Sounds like Tet '68
The Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz announced on Wednesday that all units must be on full alert during the traditional Passover holidays, though officials dismissed the idea that the decision is linked to planned military operations, Xinhua reported.
IDF officials said that although all units would have to report for duty, "commanders could allow every soldier to go on leave like the rest of the year," the Jerusalem Post reported.
The sudden decision, only a week before the holidays, comes amid heightened rumors of an Israeli strike on Iran, and tensions ahead of the Palestinian Land Day.
