Political and security circles within the occupation state are witnessing a growing state of alert and preparedness to deal with complex and unprecedented scenarios during the upcoming electoral process. In this context, matching press reports revealed that Tel Aviv is factoring in the possibility of its territory being subjected to missile attacks originating from Tehran, coinciding precisely with the date of the general elections scheduled for this current month. The newspaper "Israel Hayom" explained that the Central Election Committee is taking seriously a scenario involving the launch of missiles on the morning of October 27th, to coincide precisely with the opening of polling stations to voters, with the aim of creating widespread chaos and disrupting the democratic process entirely. Election officials confirmed that preparations are underway to confront this exceptional threat on polling day. Recent weeks have witnessed an intensification of intelligence reports and estimates warning of Iranian intentions to disrupt the upcoming Israeli electoral process. In light of these data, the Chairman of the Central Election Committee, Noam Solberg, chaired special meetings and discussions dedicated to examining this looming threat and how to contain it. Along parallel lines, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued warnings during a field visit to the occupied West Bank, confirming the state's readiness for all eventualities. It is worth noting that these general elections will determine the fate of Netanyahu's stay in power, and they are the first of their kind since Hamas's attack on October 7, 2023, and the subsequent ongoing war in the Gaza Strip.
