Ahead of Israel's election, reports grow Netanyahu warned of Hamas attack

Israeli officials have stated that while there is currently no concrete threat to the country, they remain on high alert and closely monitoring Iran's actions. A second official warned that Tehran could launch missiles at Israel at any moment due to the economic and military pressure from the United States. However, this remains an option rather than an immediate threat.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned of potential attacks ahead of the elections, telling those at the Tel Nof Air Base that Israel's "long arm will reach you anywhere and at any time." The security assessment chaired by Netanyahu was scheduled several days in advance, according to an Israeli official.
