🔶 Netanyahu: Hamas may launch a ground attack to influence the selection of captives in Israel

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed that Hamas may carry out attacks before the upcoming general elections in the country in order to influence the political atmosphere and the results of the elections.

According to him, on Tuesday, October 6 (October 14) at the beginning of the weekly government meeting, Hamas may try to challenge the Israeli prisoners with "the rest of its forces" due to the severe weakening of its military power.

Netanyahu added, Israel is ready for such a scenario and will try to neutralize these attacks from the beginning. He warned, in the event of any ground attack, the Israeli prisoners "will respond with great force." The Israeli Prime Minister's captives did not provide specific details or evidence for this claim.

These statements were made on the eve of the third anniversary of the ground attack on October 7, 2023. The Israeli Minister of Defense, Israel Katz, said that same day that the army was given information indicating that Hamas might attack the Israeli forces stationed in Gaza on the anniversary of this ground attack. The details of this information have not been released to the public.
