Excerpt:
Israeli authorities have arrested and indicted a woman in her 70s, described as a terminally ill anti-government activist, for conspiring to assassinate Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu using a rocket-propelled grenade or explosive device according to KAN public broadcaster.
The suspect, a resident of Tel Aviv, was detained approximately two weeks ago following intelligence gathering and a police investigation led by the Shin Bet security service. Police say she sought help from fellow activists to acquire weapons and gather detailed information about Netanyahu’s security arrangements.
The indictment states the suspect “was involved in political protest activities against the Israeli government” and, after receiving a terminal diagnosis, decided to attempt assassination as a “sacrifice” to save the state.
She revealed her assassination plan to another activist and asked him to assist her in acquiring a rocket-propelled grenade for the attack.
