Amid the ongoing escalation in the north, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is slated to provide Opposition Leader Yair Lapid with a security briefing tomorrow afternoon.

The last time Lapid received a security briefing from Netanyahu was early August, his first in two months.

The leader of the opposition is traditionally briefed once a month by the sitting prime minister on sensitive national security issues.
