Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called an emergency session of the Security Cabinet for 3 pm on Tuesday afternoon.
The move follows another escalation in terrorist activity and a burst of terror attacks Tuesday morning in Jerusalem, Ra’anana and Tel Aviv.
A mob of Palestinian Arabs breached the security fence along Israel’s southern border with central Gaza late Monday. When they reached the Israeli side of the border, however, they were met with Israel Defense Force soldiers who immediately forced them back into Gaza.
