Israel has brought in 300k reservists. In a country of 9 million, that's a not insignificant percentage of the population.

Many of those are part of the tech sector and are currently not working.

You're assuming that the probability to be drafted is the same for a tech worker as for the rest of the population. I don't know whether that's a valid assumption or not...

I'm not sure of the statistics but this is probably roughly true. Probably higher, actually, as tech workers tend to be more from populations that actually enlist in the military, and tech is a huge sector of the economy.
