The Security Cabinet convened on Motzei Shabbos at which time a number measures aimed at deterring future terror attacks were approved. The special session was called following two recent fatal attacks; in the Charsina neighborhood of Kiryat Arba that claimed the life of Hallel Ariel HY”D and on Route 60 near Otniel on Erev Shabbos that claimed the life of Rav Miki Mark HY”D.
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman met in private ahead of the Security Cabinet to formulate their plan, which was presented to the ministers.
It was decided:
· To maintain a closure on the Palestinian area of Hebron and its 700,000 residents.
· permits for 2,700 workers of the village of Banai Naim are being revoked. This is the village from which the 17-year-old terrorist who murdered Hallel Ariel came from.
· Two additional battalions are being deployed in areas of Yehuda and Shomron.
· 42 new housing units were approved for Kiryat Arba.
· Increased IDF intelligence efforts and arrests of families and associates of terrorists.
· Israel will reduce monthly tax revenue transfers to the PA (Palestinian Authority) by the amount the PA pays to the families of terrorists.

Smart ideas,
Now the question is “what took them so long”
And close the schools!!! NUMBER ONE TRAINING GROUNDS. Defund and shut them down until they are ready to open up again with burden of proof of removing all hate and violence indoctrination from their curruculae!!!! Subject to random unannounced govt inspections. If caught violating, that’s a permanent shut down and fund removal.
Theyr genna have to do a little more than that to even start getting into the animals’ heads
The islamic terrorists kill so they will go heaven. Israel covers the islamic terrorists in pig and buries them. They will go to hell. Israel broadcasts this. This is additional punishment and additional deterrent.
