Opposition figures denounce incident, while Justice Minister Levin says it is part of a ‘violent coup’ attempt and calls for judicial overhaul to be revived.
Three people were arrested in the early hours of Sunday morning after a pair of flares were fired at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s private residence in Caesarea and landed in the yard, the Israel Police said.
No damage was reported in the incident and a joint statement from the security bodies noted that Netanyahu and his family were not home at the time.
The Israel Police’s Lahav 433 major crimes unit and the Shin Bet are investigating the incident, which they said “marks a dangerous escalation.”
The incident drew condemnation from across the political spectrum.
Opposition Leader Yair Lapid and National Unity chairman Benny Gantz both issued statements condemning the incident and calling on law enforcement to “bring the guilty to justice.”
