Report: Security guidelines tightened for PM, ministers, diplomatic staff abroad
The Shin Bet has issued stepped up security guidelines to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and all government ministers, ordering them to only attend events that have an immediately accessible sheltered area, Channel 12 news reports, without citing sources.
The report says the government members have been ordered not to go on any tour of open areas near war fronts without a personal okay from Shin Bet chief Ronen Bar.
Security has also been upped in Israeli diplomatic facilities around the world, and their Israeli staffers have been told to maintain a low public profile for fear Iranian or Iran-backed actors will try to attack Israeli symbols abroad, the report says.
