The Chief of Staff, Eyal Zamir, is considering imposing a general exit ban on all Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers during election week. The measure, which was being examined on Sunday, is intended to increase the readiness and alertness of forces across all fronts due to the heightened security sensitivity characteristic of the period. A military source emphasized that the potential ban is being considered as part of preparedness and alertness, and not due to any specific, immediate threat. The decision is being weighed to maintain a high level of readiness and maximum vigilance among all units as part of the defense establishment's overall preparations for election week.
