Iran’s Plot to Kill Netanyahu’s Son Targeted Yair in Miami
Israeli intelligence says a cell surveilled Yair Netanyahu’s Hallandale Beach home and routine before the plot was uncovered, Newsmax reported.
- Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu disclosed on Monday that Iran attempted to assassinate one of his sons, with reports identifying the target as Yair Netanyahu, who was living in Florida when Israeli intelligence uncovered an Iranian surveillance cell in December.
- Iranian operatives established a cell in the Miami area to monitor Yair's residence and movements, prompting U.S. authorities to instruct him to leave the United States immediately and return to Israel without his belongings.
- Last month, a ministerial committee approved extending Shin Bet protection for the Prime Minister's family for five years after he leaves office, with Shin Bet Director David Zini recommending the arrangement and Mossad supporting it.
- Defending the extensive security arrangements, Netanyahu stated, "Iran targeted one of my sons. Iran tried to murder him," arguing that protection "is not a luxury" because without it, "they will simply succeed."
- This incident aligns with a broader campaign of Iranian threats against U.S. and Israeli officials, including operations targeting President Donald Trump, Barron Trump, and former national security adviser John Bolton, who faced a $300,000 assassination plot.
