Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed that "there are signs our enemies will try to attack us ahead of the elections." He made these remarks during a visit with ground crews and pilots at the Tel Nof Air Force Base, saying, "From here, from the Air Force base, from the long arm of the State of Israel, I say: Don't mess with us, not now and not ever. Our long arm will reach you anywhere and at any time." He added: "There is enormous pressure to give up the great achievements that have been made. I will not let that happen."
