The Shin Bet has intensified security surrounding Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “to unprecedented levels,” the Ynet news site reports, without citing sources.

New reported measures by the security agency include the use of an advanced screening machine and sophisticated surveillance cameras, alongside manual searches involving physical pat-downs.

As part of the enhanced security, new devices for inspecting footwear have also been activated, the report adds.
