The security cabinet meeting tonight in Tel Aviv will deal with Israel’s response to Iran, but will also update ministers on the drone attack on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s home, an Israeli official tells The Times of Israel. It will also include updates on the fighting in Lebanon and Gaza.
Ministers will also discuss opportunities for progress on a hostage deal, says the official, after Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar flew to Cairo to discuss the matter.
