Israeli media report clash between Netanyahu and IDF chief over Iran attack plans

Israeli media report a clash between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and IDF Chief of Staff General Eyal Zamir over military action linked to Iran, with Zamir reportedly resisting and demanding legal authorization, just one day before Tuesday's election. Channel 12 cited anonymous sources saying Zamir sought further deliberations and signed documentation from Netanyahu, with speculation the instructions involved a fresh attack on Iran. Military leaders reportedly fear political exploitation of the Iranian issue, though Netanyahu dismissed the allegations as "nonsense" in an interview. The reported tension comes as final projections show a dead heat between Netanyahu and rival Gadi Eisenkot, with neither bloc able to form a government. Netanyahu has also posted an AI-generated image of a nuclear explosion in Tel Aviv, warning of existential danger if Iran acquires nuclear weapons.
