PM convenes security cabinet Thursday night after 30 rockets from Lebanon
Following a 30-rocket barrage from Lebanon on Thursday afternoon, the prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu has called a foreign affairs and security session to take place in the evening. The ministers will be presented with an updated evaluation of the event by the Northern Command. Hizballah has meanwhile disavowed any role in the rocket attack that was directed across the breadth of northern Israel’s Galilee from several launching points. The statement to Lebanese media attributed the attack to Palestinian organizations. At the same time, Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh was present in Beirut at the time and met with Hizballah’s leader Hassan Nasrallah.
