Israeli Woman Arrested for Plot to Kill Benjamin Netanyahu: Reports
Occupied Palestine (Quds News Network)- An Israeli woman was reportedly arrested by the Shin Bet on the suspicion that she would try to kill Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
According to Israeli media reports, citing the public broadcaster KAN on Wednesday, the woman is suspected of planning an attack on the prime minister with an improvised explosive device. She was arrested two weeks ago, but was released on the condition of being banned from all government institutions and from approaching Netanyahu.
An indictment will be filed against her on Thursday for “conspiring to commit a crime and conspiring to carry out a terrorist act,” KAN reported.
