Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a renewed warning on Thursday, stating there are indications Iran may attempt to strike Israeli targets, particularly during the upcoming election period. Speaking in an interview with Fox News, Netanyahu urged Israelis to remain vigilant and announced that Israel intends to draw conclusions from recent security incidents and further tighten security measures to prevent future attacks.
Netanyahu also addressed the incident on a flight over the Middle East the previous day, describing the attacker as someone who had undergone a process of "Islamic radicalization." He added that within days, it would be determined if the attacker had ties to Iran.
This latest warning follows a similar alert issued by Netanyahu on Tuesday during a visit to the Tel Nof Air Force base. At that time, he stated that "enemies" might try to attack Israel leading up to the elections and sent a message of deterrence, asserting that Israel's "long arm" would reach any aggressor.
