The chairman of the Advisory Committee for the Security of Personalities, Col. (res.) Ronen Cohen, said that an assassination attempt against Yair Netanyahu was foiled "at the last moment" — a follow-up statement that came without new details. The timing of this latest claim is not specified, but it arrives after a series of reports on the same alleged plot.
On Friday, Jul 17, at 20:33 Jerusalem, The Zioneer first reported Cohen's claim to the cabinet that an assassination attempt against a Netanyahu family member was foiled. Within the same bulletin, we updated that he identified Yair Netanyahu as the target and attributed the plot to Hezbollah, in Miami, and that the Shin Bet had foiled the attempt after a Hezbollah cell reached the floor below Netanyahu's apartment. All three versions were published at the same timestamp, reflecting a rapid sequence of updates. The claims remain unverified, based solely on Cohen's statements.
The Zioneer has reported on broader security threats, including an assassination attempt against President Trump linked to an Iranian official (Jul 12). The current plot was initially framed as occurring after the elimination of Iran's Supreme Leader, as noted in the Friday reports.
No independent confirmation of the alleged plot exists. The perpetrator, location, and timing of the chairman's latest statement remain unspecified. The relationship between the Shin Bet operation and the new confirmation is unclear.
