Benjamin Netanyahu has warned that Iran and its allies or proxies might attempt attacks to disrupt Israel’s election, telling Iran: “Don’t test us.”
The warning came in the final days of the campaign, when Netanyahu emphasized his national-security record and security credentials. The South China Morning Post reports that he said there were intelligence signs that Iran and its proxies could challenge Israel with attacks intended to disrupt the election.
The South China Morning Post described the election as taking place on Tuesday, but the supplied reporting does not establish the vote’s exact calendar date. The sources do not independently verify the intelligence cited by Netanyahu or an Iranian plan to interfere.
The supplied reports concern a warning about a possible future attempt and do not report that an election-disruption attack had occurred.
