The Prime Minister’s Office does not announce any Ramadan restrictions after the security cabinet wraps up a briefing that discussed the past week’s series of terror attacks.
In a statement after the meeting, the PMO says participants were briefed about the attacks and efforts to stymie further violence.
Officials have decided to increase security forces’ presence in the field, reinforce border areas, repair the West Bank security barrier, carry out counter-terror operations and crack down on illegal weapons in the Arab community.
Security personnel will also revoke Israel work permits for people associated with terrorists, demolish terrorists’ homes, monitor social media and prepare for possible escalations.
There is no mention of closures of the West Bank or restrictions on who can enter Jerusalem for prayers at Al-Aqsa Mosque during the upcoming Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
Security officials feared a potential escalation during the holiday even before the recent attacks.
