Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu indicated that there are signs of a potential attack on Israel ahead of the upcoming Knesset elections during a visit to the Tel Nof airbase.

Netanyahu added today, Tuesday, saying: "Do not mess with us, for our long arm will reach you wherever you are and at any time," without specifying the parties he was referring to or the nature of the indicators he relied on in his remarks, according to what was reported by the newspaper "Haaretz."

He also spoke about Israeli operations in the Gaza Strip, stating that the army has killed more than 100 Hamas members in recent weeks, noting the death of the northern brigade commander of the movement, Izz al-Din al-Bayek, during the night, which is considered the most impactful operation on the movement.

Meanwhile, Netanyahu and Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz stated in a joint statement earlier today that al-Bayek was involved in planning attacks against Israeli forces and recruiting members for the movement, according to what the newspaper reported.

These statements came concurrently with the announcement by the Israeli army and the General Security Service "Shabak" in recent days targeting several members of Hamas, emphasizing the continuation of the military operation in Gaza "as long as it is necessary," according to statements from Israeli officials reported by Channel "12".

In a related context, the army and "Shabak" announced on Sunday the killing of a member they said appeared in a video recording during the kidnapping of the Israeli hostage Noa Argamani during the attack on October 7.

Israel also announced in recent days the killing of several members of the movement, including Saher Nadal and Muhammad Hamad Muhammad Ghabin, a leader in Hamas's military wing.
