Saturday, October 10, 2015

Over the weekend, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asked security officials
to massively reinforce Israel Police and Border Police forces and mobilize
additional reserve units. Pursuant to the Prime Minister's request, a
discussion was held to assess the situation; the Prime Minister approved the
mobilization of 13 Border Police companies, in addition to the three that
have already been mobilized. At the discussion it was noted that a
reinforced presence is a preventive and deterrent measure that assists in
maintaining order. The companies will be stationed in Jerusalem and
throughout the country.

Prime Minister Netanyahu: "I have ordered the mobilization of Border Police
companies in order to restore security and order in Jerusalem and around the
country. We will continue to do all that is necessary."
