The campaign team for Gadi Eisenkot, a former IDF Chief of Staff and current political figure, has reportedly reached out to the Shin Bet (Israel's internal security agency) and the Israel Police to express concern over his personal safety. According to reports from Israeli television, the team informed authorities that Eisenkot is currently being protected by private security guards who are not armed.

This communication follows a series of recent incidents that have heightened the team's anxiety regarding his security. The reports suggest that these concerns are being viewed within the context of wider intelligence assessments indicating that Iranian operatives are actively seeking to target high-profile Israeli officials. While the Shin Bet is responsible for the protection of specific government figures, the current arrangement for Eisenkot relies on private personnel. There has been no official statement from the Shin Bet or the police confirming the specific details of the security arrangements or the nature of the threats reported by the campaign. The situation highlights the ongoing tension between the security requirements of public figures and the logistical limitations of state-provided protection during periods of heightened regional hostility.
