The Knesset will convene a special session next week to discuss the increasing rocket launches and deteriorating security situation on Israel's southwestern front with Gaza.

Twenty Five MKs, from Likud and Israel is Our Home (Yisrael Beiteinu), joined together to initiate the session. They explained that it is necessary because the government is not doing anything about the escalating Kassam, Grad and mortar shell attacks on Jewish towns and cities within range of Gaza's terrorists.
