Security cabinet said to schedule two follow-up meetings to assess developments in Syria
An official quoted by Israeli journalist Barak Ravid says the security cabinet will hold two follow-up meetings on the unfolding conflict in Syria, on Saturday evening and Sunday evening.
The military said last night that Defense Minister Israel Katz and IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi had held an assessment on developments in Syria, as jihadist rebels rapidly advanced through parts of the country.
Israel is reportedly preparing for the possibility that the Syrian army may collapse in the face of rapidly advancing rebel forces.
