The 15 justices who sit on the Supreme Court are said to receive boosted security ahead of tomorrow’s key High Court hearing on the government’s recently passed “reasonableness” law.

According to Hebrew media reports, security figures are concerned that activists may try to block the justices from reaching the court tomorrow morning. Channel 13 news reports that some of the justices are expected to not sleep at their homes tonight, staying elsewhere to minimize such attempts.
