Prosecutors file terror charges against four suspects accused of involvement in the firing of flares at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s home in Caesarea last month
The suspects are Rear Adm. (res.) Ofer Doron, 63, his son Gal Doron, 27, and two other longtime anti-government activists, Itay Yaffe, 62, and Amir Sadeh, 62.
The four are charged at the Haifa District Court with acts of terror, reckless use of fire and attempted arson after three flares were fired near the Netanyahus’ home.
Doron and his son are also charged with obstruction of justice. The prosecution asks for them to be detained until the end of proceedings against them.
Nobody was harmed in the incident, no damage was caused, and neither the premier nor his wife Sara Netanyahu were at home at the time.
The prime minister’s wife has asked to be recognized as the victim of an attempted terror attack. Victims of a crime are entitled by law to be asked by prosecutors for their position on any plea bargain that might be proposed to those indicted over the incident, and on the punishment that might be meted out by the court.
