Israeli prosecutors have charged a woman with planning to assassinate Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, authorities said Thursday.
According to the indictment filed by the Tel Aviv District Attorney’s Office and cited by AFP, the unnamed woman, who was reportedly involved in political protests against the Israeli government, allegedly devised the plot after being diagnosed with a terminal illness.
Prosecutors said the plot was uncovered when the woman attempted to acquire a rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) to carry out the assassination. Authorities did not specify how far the attempt progressed or whether the weapon was actually obtained.
The woman’s political motives and health condition were cited as key elements in the indictment, which described her as having been deeply involved in anti-government demonstrations.
No further details regarding her identity or court proceedings were immediately available. Israeli officials have not commented on whether there was a broader security threat linked to the case.
