Authorities in Israel have apprehended an elderly woman suspected of plotting to assassinate Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu using an explosive device, a development that has stirred security concerns within the country’s political corridors. The arrest, which was officially confirmed by Israeli police on Tuesday, July 23, adds a dramatic twist to the already charged political atmosphere in the country.
According to reports closely monitored by KIIN360, the unnamed suspect is believed to have been planning a bomb attack targeting the Prime Minister. While full details surrounding the alleged plot have not been publicly disclosed due to security sensitivities, law enforcement agencies confirmed that the woman was taken into custody following credible intelligence and preliminary investigations.
Despite the serious nature of the allegations, the suspect has been granted conditional release by the authorities. As part of her bail terms, she is barred from coming near any government building or official premises pending further legal proceedings. Security officials have, however, made it clear that her case is far from over, as an official indictment is expected to be filed against her by Wednesday, July 24.
The development has prompted questions about internal threats and the effectiveness of current security protocols protecting high-ranking government figures in Israel. Prime Minister Netanyahu, who has faced waves of both local and international criticism over his handling of the ongoing conflict in Gaza and controversial judicial reforms, has been a polarizing figure in Israeli politics.
While the motive behind the alleged assassination attempt remains unclear, the arrest underscores rising tensions and divisions within parts of the Israeli population, especially in light of recent domestic unrest and political protests.
Israeli police have assured the public that investigations are ongoing and that necessary steps are being taken to ensure national security is not compromised. Meanwhile, the public awaits further updates as the suspect’s expected indictment could reveal more about the plot, her affiliations—if any—and the potential implications for Israel’s internal stability.
