Haaretz: Israeli army did not detect preparations for attacks before elections

In the news of Haaretz newspaper, based on Israeli army sources, it was stated that no concrete preparations and operational mobility indicating any attack against Israel were detected.

The news stated that Netanyahu's statement that "there was a threat of attack before the elections" raised questions in the security bureaucracy, and emphasized that, unlike the Prime Minister, army sources did not detect any preparations for an attack or operational activity against the country before the elections.

In this context, it has been reported that security institutions have not yet taken any steps to raise the alert level in the army, recruit reserve soldiers or call critical emergency personnel to duty.

It was reminded that when Israeli security units detect signs of a possible military escalation, they increase the level of preparedness of the military and security units and begin to call in reserve soldiers well in advance for preparation purposes.

The news noted that security officials, who assessed that Netanyahu's statements might be linked to the tensions specific to the pre-election period, could not determine exactly which front the Prime Minister was targeting and on what intelligence he based his warning.
