PM orders mobilization of more Border Police

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu orders the mobilization of 13 more Border Police companies, in addition to the three called up earlier today, amid the ongoing wave of violence in Israel and the West Bank, according to a statement from the Prime Minister’s Office Saturday.

The three companies called up earlier were of Border Police reservists who will be deployed mostly in and around Jerusalem starting Sunday, Ynet reported.

In addition to the capital, troops will be deployed along major highways and mixed Israeli Arab cities where residents have clashed with police amid high tensions in recent days.
