Alarm after Beirut strike: Netanyahu convenes security cabinet in bunker

Security measures in Israel have been raised to the highest level following the Beirut strike, which has escalated tensions in the Middle East. According to reports in the Israeli press, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to hold a critical meeting with members of his security cabinet this evening.

It has been suggested that the meeting will be held in a secret bunker due to the possibility of an Iranian retaliation.

IRAN CONCERNS CHANGE MEETING LOCATION

According to a report by Israel's Channel 13, it was decided that the meeting Netanyahu will hold with the security cabinet would be moved from its originally planned location to a secret bunker.

According to The Times of Israel, the meeting, which will be chaired by Netanyahu, is expected to focus on potential retaliations from Iran.
