An IDF intelligence official warned that the political and societal crisis surrounding the judicial reform in Israel was encouraging Iran, Hezbollah, and Hamas to risk attacks against Israel, including joint attacks. The official warned of harm to Israel's deterrence, the potential of multiple fronts joining together, and an opportunity to damage cohesion in Israel. The official also warned that Israel's enemies saw an opportunity to use psychological warfare to deepen the division in Israel. The intelligence official stressed that the worsening crisis deepens the erosion of Israel's image, exacerbates the vulnerability of Israeli deterrence, and increases the likelihood of escalation.
