Four Border Police companies to mobilize Friday morning
Israel's Border Police reservists are being placed on alert following violent riots Wednesday night in east Jerusalem and continuing tensions.
Border Police chief Deputy Commissioner Amir Cohen made the decision to mobilize four companies Friday morning following a situation assessment -- two in Jerusalem and two in areas surrounding Israel's capital.
The police commissioner and the defense and security ministers approved the recruitment of the additional forces.
The clashes in east Jerusalem started during Israel's manhunt for the suspect alleged to have carried out a terrorist attack on Saturday night at the Shuafat crossing that killed a female soldier -- 18-year-old Sergeant Noa Lazar, who served in the Erez Battalion of the military police.
