With all the talk of an upcoming war with Hezbollah, the IDF decides to make some surprising cuts.

The IDF has decided to reduce the number of members in civil security units who are in active reserve service in the Golan. Civil security units are armed civilian defense forces present in most towns and cities in Israel, who act as a first response in the event of a terrorist attack.

"Following the plan published a few weeks ago, which was postponed in light of the assessment of the situation, it has been decided to reduce the number of members in the civil security units who are in active reserve service, with the first phase going into effect in the coming days in the Golan settlements," as reported by Ynet.

It was further stated that "the reduction will proceed gradually, in accordance with the ongoing assessment of the situation and the unique characteristics of each sector. All members of the civil security units will remain with their personal equipment, in order to enable their use when needed immediately."
