Beyond the sourcing (channel 10 no longer exists), I will note that there are so many people coming back to Israel to join the army that El Al (the Israeli airline) has had to operate during Shabbat - a first in decades.

Israel's reservists drop everything and rush home
By Helen Coster and Alexander Cornwell
NEW YORK/DUBAI, Oct 12 (Reuters) - Some were on their honeymoon, others were studying abroad, many were building new lives in foreign countries. But when Israel called up its reservists and declared war this week, the response was swift and overwhelming.
"Everyone is coming. No one is saying no," said Yonatan Steiner, 24, who flew back from New York, where he works for a tech company, to join his old army medical unit.
"This is different, this is unprecedented, the rules have changed," he said, speaking by phone from the border near Lebanon where his regiment is based.
