A limited security cabinet is meeting at the Kirya military headquarters in Tel Aviv, Hebrew media outlets report, as the country continues to face tensions with Iran and Hezbollah.

The makeup of the limited cabinet changes, but tends to include top ministers such as Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar and Defense Minister Israel Katz, along with senior defense officials.

The cabinet meeting comes after US President Donald Trump reportedly told his aides to prepare for an extended blockade of Iran, while the commander-in-chief posted on his Truth Social platform that the Islamic Republic “can’t get their act together” and “better get smart soon.”

Meanwhile, Hezbollah continues to fire projectiles at Israel, risking a total collapse of the ceasefire with Lebanon.
