IDF soldiers will reinforce the Israeli Police forces and will take part in securing city centers: The decision was made during the security cabinet meeting this evening (Tuesday), in which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took part.

As a part of the discussion with the security echelon regarding the measure needed to take in order to curb the last few days’ terror wave, it was decided that IDF soldiers will be stationed in major city intersections and crowded areas. Moreover, Soldiers will now be instructed to patrol construction sites.

The military bolster to the police forces will allow the latter to overcome the manpower shortage consequent upon the latest terror surge.

Netanyahu raised a number of other proposals during the security meeting, although some have yet to be agreed upon by other ministers in view of their legality.

One of the measure Netanyahu has proposed is to militarily crown Arab neighborhoods in east Jerusalem as well as to expedite the demolition of the homes of Palestinian that committed terror attacks.

Prior to the cabinet meeting, Netanyahu spoke in memory of former minister Rehavaam Zeevi, who was murdered by a Palestinian terrorist in 2001. “Israel will come to settle accounts with all of the murderers: not only will we prevent them from their rights – they will be charged the full price of their actions”, Netanyahu stated.
