Security cabinet holding ‘significant’ meetings on threats along northern border
The security cabinet has reportedly convened several times in recent days to discuss the situation and threats along Israel’s northern borders.
Channel 10 journalist Barak Ravid says the details of the meetings have been barred for publication by the IDF censor, but speculates the the high-level forum held “very significant” discussions.
