According to Wikipedia the IDF has about 169k active troops and 465k reserves. 300k troops would be 50% of all Zionist armed forces, assuming total mobilization. Even then, that only leaves half the IDF to stare down Hezbollah in the north, keep a lid on the West Bank, and so forth.
Given how difficult it would be to call up every single reservist in 3 days, I think it’s more likely that 300k is the total number of mobilized IDF troops, not just those preparing to beseige Gaza.
