A woman in her 70s from central Israel was arrested on Wednesday for intending to plan an assassination plot on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Police said she is a “known anti-government protester,” and that she approached other protesters in enquiry to obtain weapons, and also inquired as to the prime minister’s security arrangements.

Opposition head Yair Lapid (Yeah Atid) condemned the incident. “Justice must be realized with anyone who tried or will try to hurt him [Netanyahu].”
