Shin Bet confirms significant Iranian threat against Yair Netanyahu prompted evacuation from US

The Shin Bet confirmed a significant Iranian threat against Yair Netanyahu, son of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which prompted his urgent evacuation from Florida back to Israel. According to the Shin Bet, a situation assessment led to the decision to extract him and his security team. Newsmax initially reported the threat, citing a US law enforcement source who stated that Israeli intelligence uncovered an Iranian plot in December to assassinate Yair in Florida. Iranian operatives were reportedly “on the ground” in the Miami area and had conducted surveillance on his residence. Yair was instructed to leave immediately, returning to Israel without his belongings. Prime Minister Netanyahu had previously mentioned in a Channel 14 interview that Iran attempted to assassinate one of his sons, stating, “Iran tried to murder him – tried to murder one of my sons.”
