Iran Press/ Middle East: Israeli Police say they received reports of a suspicious man walking outside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s home in Caesarea and asking neighbors what his address was. He was detained by a security guard outside the house after saying the suspicious man would “harm” Netanyahu and was carrying “booby-trapped bags", Israeli newspapers reported.
“I’m going to kill Bibi,” he was quoted screaming by Hadashot TV news, referring to Netanyahu by his nickname.
None of the Netanyahu family were home at the time of the incident, with Israeli prime minister, his wife Sara and eldest son Yair in Brazil for the inauguration of president-elect Jair Bolsonaro. Hadashot said the premier’s younger son Avner is also overseas.
The suspect was brought to a police station in Hadera for questioning and sappers were called in to inspect his belongings.
“It is the intention of police to bring him to court soon, in order to extend his remand and request a professional (psychiatric) examination as needed,” an Israeli police spokesperson said in a statement.
The incident comes just days after the government voted to dissolve parliament and call for early elections, kicking off what is expected to be a heated election campaign.105/ 211 / 201
