IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir has ordered a freeze on military leaves for election day amid heightened security concerns. The decision follows intelligence assessments indicating potential terrorist attack attempts to disrupt the vote.

The military has stepped up operational activity and adjusted defensive postures across the Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan border sectors. Authorities remain on high alert regarding potential escalations involving Iran and regional proxy threats.

Speaking at the Central Command last week, Zamir highlighted the volatile security environment and increased escalation potential across all fronts. US officials have also briefed Israeli leadership on preparations for potential renewed military actions against Iran.
