Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is currently meeting with top officials after “the night’s events” in Gaza, his office says.
Among those taking part in the security assessment are Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi, Shin Bet head Ronen Bar, Mossad chief David Barnea, Netanyahu’s military-secretary Avi Gil, Foreign Minister Eli Cohen, Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer, and others.
The meeting comes as rocket sirens are heard in Israeli communities for the first time in 13 hours.
