Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says that the security cabinet will convene this evening to discuss the “difficult developments, including the firing of anti-tank weapons.”

“There are a series of events that have fed into each other,” the premier says during a tour of the northern city of Acre, which saw overnight riots and arson attacks.

“We are using all our strength to protect the country from enemies on the outside and rioters on the inside,” Netanyahu says.
