Sara Netanyahu asks to be recognized as the victim of an attempted terror attack, after three flares were fired at the Netanyahus’ home in Caesarea earlier this month.

Nobody was harmed in the incident, no damage was caused, and neither Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu or Sara Netanyahu were at home at the time.

Uriel Nizri, a family lawyer for the Netanyahus, nevertheless sends a letter to the police and Shin Bet saying that she has been “a target for attack together with others in a severe terror event in which military explosives were fired at her house which caused damage and a fire that ignited at the site,” Channel 13 News reports.

Four suspects have been arrested and questioned over the incident, including Rear Adm. (res.) Ofer Doron and two other longtime anti-government activists.

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 the punishment that might be meted out by the court.
