The security cabinet is set to meet tonight in Tel Aviv at 9 p.m., in the underground command room of the Kirya military headquarters, the Ynet news site reports.
The cabinet will meet in “the pit,” as the underground command room is known, one week after its last meeting to drill for a potential emergency situation, Channel 12 news reported.
Last week’s meeting was the first time such a conference had been held there since the night of April 13-14, when Iran launched some 300 missiles and drones at Israel, almost all of which were intercepted.
