&gt; With a grueling ground search of Gaza for around 100 Israeli hostages kidnapped by Hamas likely, and the potential for more attacks from Hezbollah in the north and other militant groups in the West Bank, it’s unclear how long Israeli reservists will be fighting, and away from their companies.<p>&gt; The impact on tech companies and the rest of the economy could be serious.<p>I&#x27;ve been watching old Onion News videos, and they have aged incredibly well.<p>CEO Says Office Shooting Could Not Have Come At A Worse Time For Company:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=zWNko6ZSAzg">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=zWNko6ZSAzg</a>

This doesn&#x27;t seem to actually be about anything or say anything interesting, useful, or surprising.<p>Some israeli tech workers are being mobilized because they are military reservists. It doesn&#x27;t have anything to do with their being tech workers per se. And other than one grustlecore mention of taking conference calls between fights (??) it could be about reservists of any background.<p>Frankly it is pretty thin &quot;our boys in the trenches&quot;-style propaganda.
