Israel – Highest State of Alert Throughout Rosh Hashana Holiday

Israel – The security establishment has announced the highest state of alert throughout Israel over Rosh Hashana.

Military sources said that they have eight specific indications of potential terror attacks over the holiday, as well as dozens of general indications of possible shooting and rocket attacks, suicide bombings and kidnapping attempts.

Following Tuesday morning's Qassam attack on the western Negev military base of Zikim, Defense Minister Ehud Barak decided to impose a full closure on the West Bank and the Gaza strip.
The closure will take effect early Wednesday morning, and will be in place until the end of Rosh Hashana, when it is to be reassessed. [Ynet]
