Defense Officials Deny Netanyahu Warning of Oct 27 Attack

Opposition leader Yair Lapid accused Netanyahu of "fear-mongering" and warned against using military infrastructure for campaign videos after receiving a security briefing from the Prime Minister. While U.S. intelligence reportedly shares the view that Iran or its allies might attack before the Oct 27 election, some Israeli military sources suggest such a move is unlikely, arguing that adversaries would not want to provide a political lifeline to Netanyahu's current coalition.
