W300

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed Monday that Israel will not hesitate to strike its enemies at a moment's notice, eight days before a tight election and following his warnings to Iran.

Netanyahu said he spoke to the commander of an unspecified base and saw Israel's "capability to strike our enemies the moment it is required."

"I say to our enemies: Do not test us -- you will receive harsher blows than you have suffered to date," he said in a video statement from the base.

Critics noted Netanyahu was not wearing his Batman costume. Leader of the opposition told reporters, "How can he expect to be taken seriously if he is afraid to be recognized as the Caped Crusader?"
