Israeli Government Announces Tough anti-Terror Measures after Jerusalem Attacks
Israel's Security Cabinet met Saturday night and announced a series of tough new measures against Palestinian terrorists and their supporters. The move follows the worst weekend of terrorist violence in Jerusalem in the past decade. 7 people were killed in the ultra-Orthodox suburb of Neve Yaakov Friday, and two more Israelis were shot near the City of David on Saturday. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the new anti-terror measures include sealing terrorists' homes so the families can no longer live in them and expelling family members who clearly support the acts of the terrorists.
