Israel�s weekly cabinet meeting was once again convened Sunday in a secure underground location in Jerusalem, a minister�s office confirmed to The Times of Israel.

The decision marks the second consecutive week that the government has opted for heightened security measures. Last week�s meeting was relocated after threats from Yemen�s Houthi rebels, though Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the time publicly dismissed the warnings.

Security around senior officials has been significantly reinforced in recent days, following Israel�s targeted strike late last month that killed several top Houthi leaders in Yemen and Sunday’s Houthi drone attack that struck Ramon Airport in the Negev.
