Chief of Staff General Herzi Halevi convened representatives from the Shin Bet security service, police, and other security agencies to develop an immediate action plan against Jewish terrorism. The extraordinary meeting reflected official concerns about extremist violence by Israeli citizens.

Among measures discussed were administrative detention orders, enhanced intelligence gathering, and reassignment of Border Police commandos to dedicated counter-terrorism missions. The security establishment also agreed to increase penalties against soldiers who participate in violent acts, signalling heightened enforcement against security force members involved in extremism.

A security official acknowledged a significant capability gap: ‘The IDF does not know how to operate against Israelis.’ The admission highlights systemic challenges in addressing domestic security threats and reflects growing concern about Jewish extremist violence within Israeli society and the military.
