Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called for an urgent phone consultation with some ministers and security officials, an Israeli official confirmed. Official meetings are unusual during Shabbat but not unprecedented during wartime.
Shabbat, the Jewish day of rest, begins each Friday at sunset and ends at sundown the following day. It is a time for reflection, prayer, and spending time with family. However, in times of crisis, such as during wartime, exceptions can be made to ensure the safety and security of the nation.
