Prime Minister Yair Lapid held a security assessment today, at the Kirya in Tel Aviv.
The discussion focused on the security situation in southern Israel and the possible scenarios that may unfold.
Prime Minister Lapid, following the discussion:
"We understand the difficulty for the residents of the south. Our main focus right now is protecting their lives and safeguarding Israel's security.
The security arrangements that we decided upon are necessary as temporary preparation measures. We will not accept a long-term situation in which terrorist organizations disrupt citizens' lives. We will not be deterred from using force in order to restore normal life in the south, and we will not halt our policy of arresting terrorists in Judea and Samaria."
