Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz cautioned on Tuesday that Israel has actually determined efforts by Iran and its proxies to perform terrorist attacks focused on affecting the outcomes of the Oct. 27 Knesset elections.
Speaking at an event inaugurating the Irgun Museum and Altalena cannon in Binyamina, Katz required nationwide unity in the face of the hazards. “We should stand joined and explain that political arguments will not weaken our cumulative willpower versus our opponents,” he stated.
Katz promised that the political tier would act together with the Israel Defense Forces and other security firms to secure the nation, worrying that security choices would be made “without regard to any other factor to consider.” He alerted that anybody assaulting Israel before or after the election, or damaging Israeli soldiers or civilians, would “pay the heaviest cost.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu cautioned his Cabinet on Tuesday that Hamas will attempt to challenge Israel ahead of the election.

Of all, we will ward off such efforts. And, in any case, we will react to them with significant force if they make this error. I state to all our opponents: ‘Look at what we did to you on 7 fronts in the War of Revival. Do not contend us.”
