The Israeli Occupationsecurity cabinet held a three-and-a-half hour emergency session late Saturday night and early Sunday morning to address the two shootings that killed seven people and injured a number of others.

The occupation will deploy additional forces in the West Bank and Jerusalem, accelerate settlement construction, and begin rounding up weapons, as well as punishing Palestinians with a connection to operations.

The cabinet decided to seize the house of KhairyAlqam, the martyr who carried out the operation in the Neve Yaakov settlement, as soon as possible, according to Palestinian media.

The Israeli Occupation government also resolved to discuss taking away ID cards and national insurance from those who carried out operations and those who support them.

Thousands from the Israeli Occupation will also be authorized to carry guns, with accelerated procedures for obtaining a license.
