Source to 'Post': Israel on high alert, but no concrete intel. warning for attack before elections

"There is currently no specific intelligence warning on the table,” one official told the Post. This comes after PM Netanyahu warned that Israel's enemies might try to attack before the elections.

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.
