The Israeli military has indeed called up reservists in preparation for potential renewed fighting in Gaza due to the hostages issue. The situation remains tense as Hamas suspended the planned handover of hostages, citing Israeli violations of the ceasefire terms. Both Israeli and U.S. officials are making it clear that there will be severe consequences if the remaining hostages are not released by Saturday, including the possibility of resuming intense military action in Gaza.
The conflict has already resulted in significant loss of life and devastation, with ongoing humanitarian crises in the Gaza Strip.
