Two flares were fired at the private residence of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu early on Sunday. The Israel Police confirmed the incident, stating that neither Netanyahu nor his family were at home during the attack.
Addressing the incident, the police said, “A joint investigation by the General Security Service and the Israel Police was opened. This is a serious incident that is a dangerous escalation and accordingly, the necessary investigative actions will be taken.”
The police claim that the light bombs fell into the house’s courtyard. Defence Minister Israel Katz also posted information on the incident on X (formally Twitter).
He urged the Israel Police, Shin Bet and all other law enforcement and judicial agencies to investigate the serious situation immediately and take the required action. “Firing light bombs on Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s house is crossing all red lines,” he said.
He also stated, “It is not possible for the Prime Minister of Israel, who is threatened by Iran and its proxies who are trying to assassinate him, to be subject to the same threats from home.”
Israel’s President, Isaac Herzog, condemned the incident.
