Israeli security agencies have warned ministers and other senior officials of what they describe as an increase in Iranian attempts to target prominent Israeli figures, including current and former officials, according to Israel’s Channel 12.
The Hebrew-language broadcaster said security assessments indicate that while targeting Israeli officials has long been a standing Iranian objective, the frequency and number of such attempts have increased significantly in recent weeks.
According to the report, Israel’s internal security agency, Shin Bet, has tightened security measures for a number of senior officials in response to the assessments.
In a related development, Channel 12 said that, following recommendations from the security services, the departure time of the government aircraft carrying Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the United States was kept confidential. The report added that the flight’s departure point was changed to Nevatim Airbase as part of precautionary measures to strengthen security.
