Democratic Union Knesset candidate YairGolan said on Thursday, "I hope that the reason for the publication of the attack in Syria is not related to elections."

Interviewed by Galeit Tzahal radio, the former deputy chief of staff of the Israel Defense Forces continued, "I hope - but I'm not sure. Hezbollah does not want an actual escalation. There have been several cases that the decision to give up security ambiguity was linked to political considerations."
