Netanyahu Convenes Security Summit to Block Iranian Election Plots

Opposition leaders have dismissed the government's alarms as political tactics intended to manipulate the electorate before the October 27 polls. UN Ambassador Danny Danon warned that Iran and Hezbollah may use disinformation, cyberattacks or ballistic missile exercises to disrupt the region. These alarms expand on warnings from Defense Minister Israel Katz, who stated on October 13 that any attack on Israeli civilians or soldiers would face severe retaliation regardless of the political calendar.
