Hamas terror attack: Naftali Bennett shows up for IDF reserve duty

Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has shown up for reserve duty following a terror attack on Israel by the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas.

Bennett, who served in office between June 2021 and June 2022, was pictured wearing an IDF military uniform.

It comes after the IDF announced an extensive reserve recruitment due to the assault, which commenced on Saturday morning.

Sharing a photo purportedly showing the former PM in what appears to be a military warehouse, newspaper Israel Hayom said Bennett was preparing to defend the country.
