Israeli PM warns of ‘indications’ enemies may attack ahead of elections
Israeli officials have recently intensified warnings to Iran, Hezbollah and the Palestinian Authority that any attack will be met with retaliation.
Jerusalem - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned that Israel's adversaries may launch attacks ahead of the elections on October 27, raising concerns among the opposition. The warning came as Defence Minister Israel Katz threatened to target Hamas leaders based outside the Gaza Strip. Netanyahu has repeatedly threatened Iran, Hezbollah, and the Palestinian Authority with retaliation if attacked.
In a video message, Netanyahu vowed that "our long arm will reach you anywhere, anytime." Opposition leader Yair Lapid contacted Netanyahu's office seeking an urgent security update, expressing concern about the threat's validity and Netanyahu's preparedness to prevent election disruptions. Netanyahu's office later informed Lapid that the PM had instructed his military secretary to update him on the latest developments.
