Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, Foreign Minister Eli Cohen, and senior defense and military officials are holding a meeting ahead of a security cabinet meeting tonight to discuss a response to rocket fire from Lebanon.

The meeting is expected to discuss the potential responses to the rocket attacks, which have been blamed on the Hamas terror group.

National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, police commissioner Kobi Shabtai, and chief of police’s Jerusalem district Doron Turgeman are also seen in the meeting.

Earlier, Gallant held a meeting with IDF chief Herzi Halevi, during which he instructed the military to “advance all response options” before presenting them to the security cabinet.
