Israel to allow 10,000 reservists to keep military rifles at home, says report The Israeli military has revealed plans to arm about 10,000 reserve soldiers with weapons that will be "kept permanently" in their homes, Anadolu news agency reported, quoting Israeli media. Yedioth Ahronoth reported that the move focusses on Division David, a formation established about a year ago that relies on older reservists who volunteer to return to service after completing their reserve obligations. The reservists will receive an M4 or upgraded M16 rifle, magazines, a combat vest and a helmet, the paper said. The rifles would remain in their personal possession most of the time while they are civilians, according to the report.
