The IDF is on high alert ahead of Tuesday's elections. Military sources tell Kan News that there is no concrete intelligence, but forces are preparing not to be surprised. Tens of thousands of troops have been deployed along the borders, in Gaza, Lebanon, Judea and Samaria, and the Jerusalem envelope. Air defense systems are on significant standby for possible fire from Iran or Lebanon, an option assessed as low. Yesterday's attack in Hebron led to a complete closure of the city and Halhul. IDF forces demolished illegal Palestinian structures, evacuated residents from their homes in the terrorists' neighborhood, conducted searches, and arrested at least ten terror suspects. The operation is expected to expand and continue after the elections. In the coming days, a defense exercise against a multi-front attack will take place in the north and center, including a surprise attack and infiltration of terrorists from the air and ground.
