The Prime Minister’s Office says the high-level security cabinet meeting has ended.

The statement does not provide further details on any decisions made by the ministers.

The meeting comes following a major rocket barrage from Lebanon blamed on the Hamas terror group, and earlier rocket attacks from the Gaza Strip,

“The defense establishment is prepared with high readiness in all arenas…we will know how to act against any threat,” says Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on Twitter following the meeting.
