Shin Bet: Firing of 'Illumination' at Netanyahu's Home is a 'Very Serious Incident'

Ronin Bar, the head of Israel's internal security agency (Shin Bet), stated on Sunday, November 18, that the firing of 'illumination' at the private residence of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Qesarya was a 'very serious incident' and 'very contrary to legitimate protest.' He described the incident as a 'dangerous escalation' of tensions and added that Shin Bet is legally obligated to protect the symbols of the Israeli government. According to Ronin Bar, Shin Bet collaborated with the Israeli police to quickly identify and arrest the suspects involved in the incident. The head of Shin Bet emphasized that the case will be handled with 'utmost seriousness.' The Ministry of Internal Security and the Israeli police announced that on the evening of Saturday, November 26, two 'illuminations' were thrown at the Prime Minister's house and landed in the yard. According to police officials, Netanyahu and his family were not at home at the time of the incident, and they were not harmed. Reports indicate that the three arrested suspects are protesters against the policies of the Israeli government. Benny Gantz, a prominent opponent of Netanyahu, wrote in a post on X: 'Firing light bombs at the Prime Minister's house is a serious matter that I strongly condemn. It is clear that Shin Bet and the police will find the perpetrators of this crime and bring them to justice.' Less than a month ago, a drone fired by Hezbollah Lebanon hit the outer section of the Prime Minister's residence in Qesarya. What are the views of Benjamin Netanyahu's opponents in Israel? Hezbollah Lebanon claimed responsibility for the drone attack on Benjamin Netanyahu's house.
