Police are considering requesting administrative detention orders for Arab Israelis who are deemed to be potential terrorist attackers, the Kan public broadcaster reports.
The move would require the approval of Defense Minister Benny Gantz.
It comes after two deadly attacks in the last week carried out by Arab Israelis.
Israel routinely uses the controversial tactic against Palestinians in the West Bank.
Administrative detention enables authorities to detain people for extended periods of time without leveling formal charges against them, in a practice decried by critics as undemocratic and abusive, but defended by the security establishment as a necessary measure in cases where revealing the evidence would harm national security.
