Security cabinet to meet over Gaza escalation
The security cabinet was set to meet Tuesday morning to discuss the escalation in southern Israel and the Gaza Strip after the IAF kills a senior Islamic Jihad leader and the terror group responded with rockets fired at Israel.
The meeting set for 09.00 a.m. comes the same day as Naftali Bennett is set to take over as Defense Minister.
Israel Radio says that senior Israeli officials have been barred form talking to the media.
