Speaking about the terror attack in Tel Aviv Sunday night, Defense Minister Ehud Barak said Monday that security forces were on full alert to prevent a repeat of the attack, especially with the school year imminent. “The Shin Bet, police and IDF are prepared to prevent terrorists from carrying out attacks and interfering with normal life in Tel Aviv and other cities.”
Barak added that security forces were in a state of high alert, over the possibility of an attack similar to the one carried out in the Eilat area several weeks ago.
