Colonel,
The Yom Kippur is pretty good example. The regular army, together with the Air Force (and today the Navy, too) hold the line in case of overwhelming attack, wait for reserves to have the manpower to attack in force.
However, with Israel's advancement past its enemies in military technology and proficiency, this does not necesarilly have to apply. Meaning that if the attack is not overwhelming, then the regular army can begin transferring the battle to the enemy's territory (which is an IDF strategic imperative) prior to all of the reserves being ready.
Basically, the design is done to protect Israel from the worst possibility, which is an overwhelming attack on Israeli territory by multiple foes. How likely such an event is nowadays is a different story.
