Gantz holds security consultations over rocket attack

Blue and White head Benny Gantz takes his candidate hat off and puts his defense minister beret on, stopping election campaigning to hold a security consultation following the rocket attack near Beersheba.

There continues to be confusion over whether Prime Minister Netanyahu was in the city at the time of the attack. A video appears to show Netanyahu being ushered swiftly out of a restaurant in the city, though it’s unclear if it was in reaction to the attack.
