Defense Minister Israel Katz issued a stern warning to Iran and its allies against attempting any attacks on Israel, particularly during the upcoming elections scheduled for next week. Katz stated that Israeli forces have identified recent efforts by adversaries, primarily Iran and its proxies, to orchestrate terrorist attacks aimed at influencing the election results.
Katz characterized the Iranian regime as being in its weakest historical position, suggesting this vulnerability might drive Tehran to desperate measures, including assaults on Israel. He assured that Israeli intelligence services are actively detecting and prepared to thwart such Iranian attempts. Should an attack occur, Katz vowed that Israel would respond with full force, delivering a devastating blow to Iran.
The Defense Minister also referenced previous reports concerning security measures on Israel's northern border. He mentioned the establishment of a buffer zone of approximately 700 square kilometers in southern Lebanon, designed to protect Israel's northern communities. This zone, according to Katz, has been cleared of civilians and Hezbollah's military infrastructure, and the IDF intends to maintain these positions until Hezbollah is disarmed and the threat to northern Israel is neutralized.
Furthermore, Katz discussed security enhancements informed by lessons from the Yom Kippur War and the October 7th attack. These measures include addressing residential buildings that Israeli authorities claim have been used by militants as military strongholds.
