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.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
