Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a security assessment with Defense Minister Yoav Gallant a short while ago, his office says in a brief statement.

The statement says Netanyahu is following and is being updated on unspecified “security developments” in recent days.

The recent incidents are not detailed due to security concerns and ongoing investigations.

Yesterday, Gallant held a number of meetings with senior defense officials over the developments.

The meetings come after a mysterious explosion seriously wounded a man on a highway in northern Israel on Monday, which is being investigated as a terror attack.
