Following the firing of 36 rockets from the Gaza Strip overnight Friday, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said to prepare for “any scenario” from the Gaza Strip.
Another rocket was fired on Motzei Shabbos, triggering sirens in Sderot and nearby communities. The projectile was intercepted by the Iron Dome.
Netanyahu convened the security cabinet for an emergency meeting in the wake of the escalation on the southern border as well as the situation in Jerusalem, as clashes between Arab rioters and police continue.
“I ordered preparations for every scenario,” Netanyahu said after the meeting.

A situational assessment also place at the IDF’s Kirya headquarters in Tel Aviv.
“In assessing the situation, the chief of staff ordered a series of possible steps, responses and assessments for escalation,” the IDF said in a statement.
The statement continued by saying that IDF Chief of Staff Aviv Kochavi has postponed his trip to the United States in light of the situation.
The escalation overnight Friday night was the most serious cross-border attack from the Strip in months, with sirens blaring in numerous southern communities, sending residents running to bomb shelters. Fortunately, no injuries were reported but the rockets caused damage in a number of areas.

the chief of staff ordered a series of possible steps, responses and assessments Everyone knows, there is only 1 possible step, and this must be implemented immediately:- The step adviced by the saintly Rav Meir Kahane הי”ד which is:- Expel & deport every single arab from Israel no questions asked, and never ever admit another arab into Israel.
Admit every Jew and stop this stupidity of feigning Corona excuses:- These wicked evil arabs are far more dangerous than any Corona or Jews from חוץ לארץ could ever possibly be.
Maybe it is a good idea if all the different Rabbonim and Yeshivos get together and make a Yom Tefilah (a day of prayer). Maybe also to fast till Chatzos (half a day).
We truly need right now ASAP the help of Hashem. We can no longer ignore this or try to live with this situation. We need Hashem’s help desperately asap.
Joe Biden just gave them 100000000 million dollars now they are ready to drive Israel crazy again thanks Joe

There are a number of problems with that horrifically anti-Jewish advice.
For starters, (and the Satmar Rav said essentially this decades ago) until Mashiach comes, it is the Jews who are guests of the host nation wherever they may go. In the Zionist-administered portions of Eretz Yisrael, there is no actual government, just a bunch of anti-Torah thugs (and some frum Jews, too) who call themselves a government.
The majority of Arabs who simply go about their business and couldn’t care less about politics and Zionists, do not deserve “resettlement”, which is also illegal under international law.
What should, instead, happen is:
The Zionists (not the Jews) should responsibly and peacefully leave and disband “Israel”, transitioning their rule over to the Christian Nations of the world.
The Christian nations can certainly “keep order” there at least as well as the Zionists, with the great benefit of turning Arab attention away from the Jews (meaning, mistakenly associated with Zionists) since Jews would no longer be ruling anyone.
In other words, if the Christian Nations rule there, then the Arabs have no reason to hate Jews as a result of the Zionist Big Lie that Jews must all be Zionists.
Then, if any Arab “makes trouble”, that Arab can be dealt with accordingly by the Christian Nations.
