Israel's cabinet meeting today is being held at an undisclosed location under enhanced security measures, according to Hebrew media reports.

Ministers were notified this morning of the venue change, with strict new protocols barring ministerial advisers and personal weapons from the premises.

The decision to move cabinet meetings from their traditional locations at the Prime Minister's Office in Jerusalem or IDF headquarters in Tel Aviv comes in response to recent security threats, including a Hezbollah drone attack on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Caesarea residence earlier this month.

Sources indicate that future meetings will no longer be held at fixed locations.While security concerns prompted the relocation, reports indicate the meeting is not being held in the newly constructed underground bunker outside Jerusalem. The new venue reportedly lacks parking facilities and waiting areas for staff.
