Sealing the terrorists' houses and arrest of family members is also among the possible steps

A political source on Saturday detailed the steps that are expected to be taken by Israel's government following two terrorist attacks that rocked Jerusalem in the last 24 hours.

According to the source, beyond the reinforcement of security forces, the cabinet is expected to approve sealing the terrorists' houses, arrest of family members and their relatives, expediting and budgeting requests to receive weapons and promotion of the Family Deportation Law.

Seven civilians were massacred by a Palestinian terrorist in Friday's attack outside a synagogue in Jerusalem and two others were wounded in another shooting in the city on Saturday, the latter attack perpetrated by a 13-year-old. 

Meanwhile, Palestinians held spontaneous rallies to celebrate the killings in Gaza and across the West Bank, including in Ramallah where large crowds thronged the streets chanting, brandishing Palestinian flags and handing out sweets.
