The ministers are ordering that Israelis who express solidarity with ISIS will be arrested. Arabs who were seen celebrating the terror attack should be brought to justice, the cabinet concludes.
The ministers decide not to release the terrorists’ body and to demolish his house at the earliest possible time. Requests by his family members to be reunited with relatives in Gaza will be denied. and the Jerusalem neighborhood Jabel Mukaber, from which the terrorist comes, was encircled by security forces.
