After a Lebanese terrorist organization that is responsible for attacks carried out in the past against Israeli targets published a video today (Monday) containing murder threats against Knesset member Zvi Sukkot, the Knesset officer for Sukkot announced this evening that his threat level will increase, and he will be secured at level 3.

In the video, pictures of Minister Ben Gabir and MK Sukkot were shown, with a projectile placed on them, and then we saw a cemetery and a picture of MK Sukkot inside a crosshair.
"The targets are ready and death is very close to you," the organization wrote.
"Indeed, the 'hour' (Judgment Day) is their time, and the 'hour' is harder and more bitter" - said in the video, which was published by the organization "Galilee Forces - Lone Wolves - Israel's First Nightmare", which has previously claimed responsibility for an attack.
Sukkot said in response: "Threats and intimidation by terrorists will not affect my actions, I will continue to work for the security of the residents of Judea and Samaria as the chairman of the foreign and security subcommittee for Jewish affairs."

As a reminder, a level 3 threat level was previously given to MK Simcha Rotman following the fear for his life due to the legal reform, as well as to Itamar Ben Gabir before he began serving as MK following threats on his life.
