Prosecutors are set to announce that they will charge four suspects accused of involvement in the firing of flares at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s home in Caesarea earlier this month.
According to Channel 12 news, prosecutors say there is evidence to file an indictment against the four suspects and to request their detention until the end of the legal proceedings.
The suspects include Rear Adm. (res.) Ofer Doron and two other longtime anti-government activists.
Three flares were fired near the Netanyahus’ home. 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.
However, 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.
