JNS reported on 13 October 2026 that Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz warned that Iran and its proxies were planning terrorist attacks intended to influence Israel's election. The claim is an assessment by Israel's defense minister, not independently adjudicated proof that a specific attack will occur. Public warnings can deter adversaries and prepare citizens, but they can also move security fear to the center of a campaign; dated attribution and independent evidence therefore matter.
