The campaign team of Eisenkot has informed the Shin Bet security service and the police that he is under threat and lacks armed security, according to The Times of Israel. This warning comes after recent incidents and amid reports that Iran is seeking to harm Israeli officials. The team has hired private guards, but they are not armed.
The details of the threats against Eisenkot and the measures taken by his team are not fully specified in the available reports. However, the fact that private guards without guns were hired indicates a recognition of the risk, but also a limitation in the security arrangements. The Times of Israel reports that this development is significant given the context of tensions with Iran.
The situation is unfolding against a backdrop of heightened tensions between Israel and Iran, with the US having resumed strikes on Iran in response to attacks targeting its forces, as reported by The Times of Israel. This context suggests that the threat to Eisenkot and other officials may be linked to the broader geopolitical tensions in the region.
