The practice call-up of Israeli army reserve units went smoothly yesterday and was described by military circles as highly successful. Most of the units that reported for duty were released by this morning. The army has also returned the private vehicles registered for service in an emergency so as not to disrupt private activities. The call-up was scheduled in advance but the date and time was unknown until each unit’s code-name was broadcast on radio and television yesterday.
