(Ynet News) Eli Senyor - After the terrorist attack at the Sarona Marketplace in Tel Aviv in June, Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan re-examined security arrangements in public spaces that are open-air entertainment centers. New security protocols being implemented will include different security "circles," with alarm systems, CCTV, checkpoints at important points and armed guards on patrol. The program's implementation was accelerated following the Nice attack in July and should set a number of obstacles to prevent a similar attack in Israel. Erdan explained: "The difference between an attack without casualties and an attack with heavy casualties...is the response time of civilians or armed guards, and we must ensure that sites with multitudes of people will always have somebody who can provide a response in a very short timespan."
