The Shin Bet security service barred Opposition chairman Benjamin Netanyahu from leaving the Likud headquarters in Tel Aviv for four hours last night as the terrorist remained at large, the Kan public broadcaster reports.

All Tel Aviv residents were told to remain in their homes as the manhunt ensued, but Netanyahu has his own security detail. Still, the Shin Bet didn’t want to take any chances and barred the former prime minister from leaving.

The security service declined a request to comment.
