Four reserve Border Police companies have been drafted amid heightened tensions across the country, joining another six deployed in recent weeks.

The companies are operating in the central, northern, coastal, and southern regions to “strengthen security in city centers and crowded areas,” police say.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday evening ordered the mobilization of all 26 reserve Border Police companies.

Law enforcement officials say they are prepared to draft additional Border Police companies following recent terror attacks and rocket fire on Israel, should it be necessary.
