After a flurry of deadly attacks across Israel on Tuesday morning, the security cabinet has gathered in Jerusalem since 3:00 p.m. to discuss the deteriorating security situation. 

Resolutions proposed to deter attacks include destroying terrorists homes with 72 hours of the attack and the revocation of permanent residency status for families of terrorists in eastern Jerusalem. 

Police forces patrolling Arab neighborhoods in eastern Jerusalem may also be reinforced with IDF troops; residents would not be allowed to exit without a personal security check by police. 

MK Moti Yogev (Jewish Home), who has warned over the last two years of a looming breakout of terror in Jerusalem, praised the decision to reinforce the police presence in the capital with IDF forces. 

"I congratulate the Prime Minister for his decision to reinforce police with army units as well as for additional measures which I have no doubt will deter would-be perpetrators of attacks," Yogev said. 

"Today we decide on a series of bold steps to further our war against incitement and terrorism," Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu vowed in a Knesset speech on Tuesday. "They will be applied in the field as quickly as possible."

"Israel will come to settle accounts with the murderers, those who try to murder, and anyone who helps them," he continued. "Not only will we take away rights, but they will pay the full price.

"All whoever raises a hand to hurt us - his hand will be cut off," he warned. "We will use every means at our disposal, and I do not hesitate to use them, in order to restore peace to the cities of Israel."
