Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu issued a video statement at an Israeli air base on the 29th saying there are signs that “the enemy may launch an attack on Israel before the October 27 election.” Netanyahu gave no further details about the circumstances of the attack. In his statement, he warned: “Don't mess with us; Israel can reach out to you anytime.” Netanyahu said Israel is still carrying out military operations on multiple fronts, including the Gaza Strip and Lebanon. He also reported that the Israeli army has killed more than 100 “terrorists” in the Gaza Strip in recent weeks. “The Times of Israel” reports that as Israel's general election approaches, Netanyahu has recently repeatedly rushed to announce the results of targeted killings before the IDF officially announces them.
