Ministers suggest deploying soldiers in Jerusalem

A meeting of the security cabinet in Jerusalem is expected to discuss the possibility of boosting local police forces in Jerusalem with soldiers from the Homefront Command and Military Police, a senior Jerusalem official to Haaretz. Ministers at the emergency meeting are expected to approve roadblocks on the roads leading to the Palestinian neighbourhoods in East Jerusalem.

Suspect vehicles entering in and out of the neighbourhood will be inspected, but traffic will not be fully halted.
