Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, who is currently abroad, will hold an assessment shortly with top military and security officials following this morning’s deadly army raid in Jenin, his office says.

Gallant has been receiving updates regarding the raid, which the Israel Defense Forces said was against a Palestinian Islamic Jihad cell planning imminent attacks.

The officials to participate in the upcoming meeting include military chief Herzi Halevi, Shin Bet security agency head Ronen Bar, Military Intelligence chief Aharon Haliva, Operations Directorate chief Oded Basiuk, and the military’s liaison to the Palestinians Ghassan Alian.

Gallant is reportedly in the United States for a short personal trip.
