BREAKING UPDATE: Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense Minister Benny Gantz have just ordered a massive contingency of Border Police battalions to the city of Lod, where Palestinian terrorists have overtaken parts of the city, destroying synagogues, Jewish-owned stores and dozens vehicles.
Lod Mayor Yair Revivo says he’s asked the prime minister to declare a state of emergency in the city. He calls for the military to be deployed in the city, saying “this is too big for police.”
“This is Kristallnacht in Lod,” he says.
