Police say they found a bag of incendiary materials at the anti-government protest outside the prime minister’s official residence in Jerusalem.

Police are investigating the incident and are searching for a suspect.

The incident comes after earlier today, police found a smoke grenade hours before protesters were set to gather in front of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s private residence in Caesarea.

In response to the locating of the smoke grenade, the ruling Likud party says: “The incitement against Prime Minister Netanyahu crossed another red line this evening. The attorney general, Shin Bet security service and Israel Police must put an end to the violence and incitement against the prime minister. The writing is on the wall.”
