Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Iran on Sunday that any attempt to disrupt the country's parliamentary elections on Tuesday would result in a severe response.

In a video statement released by his office, Netanyahu said intelligence indicated that Iran and its proxies could launch attacks to interfere with the vote. "We have intelligence signs that our enemies, Iran and its proxies, could challenge us with attacks in order to disrupt the elections," he said. "Don't test us. You will suffer disproportionate blows."

Netanyahu added that the Israel Defense Forces were prepared for both defensive and offensive operations. He spoke while standing at an Arrow anti-ballistic missile battery, two days before voters head to the polls.

The remarks come as Netanyahu campaigns heavily on his security record. He has highlighted a war against Iran that began in February with U.S. support. The prime minister has positioned himself as the leader best equipped to handle threats from Tehran, including its nuclear ambitions and support for proxy groups.

Reports earlier in the week noted that Netanyahu directed security forces to work toward toppling Iran's clerical regime. He has described the Iranian threat as existential and argued that voters must decide whether to continue confronting it.

Some media outlets reported tensions between Netanyahu and IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir over a directive related to Iran operations, which the prime minister dismissed as unfounded.

The election on October 27 will determine the composition of Israel's 120-seat Knesset. Netanyahu, Israel's longest-serving prime minister, has made national security the centerpiece of his final campaign push.
