Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is holding a security assessment in the IDF Southern Command that has stretched for four hours, according to an Israeli official.

The meeting is examining the IDF’s operational plans “for various scenarios,” says the official.

Israeli officials have threatened to return to war in Gaza if Hamas does not release hostages on Saturday, something the terror group now says it will do.
