Shin Bet has arrested an elderly woman from central Israel on suspicion of planning an assassination attempt against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu using an improvised explosive device.
The arrest occurred two weeks ago following an intelligence-led operation that uncovered an alleged plot targeting the prime minister’s life.
Officials have not disclosed her identity or motives, but say she was intercepted before she could carry out the attack.
The domestic security agency is continuing its investigation, which highlights growing concerns over internal threats as Israel approaches its next election cycle.
