Col. (res.) Ronen Cohen Claims Foiled Assassination Attempt Against Yair Netanyahu in Miami

Col. (res.) Ronen Cohen, chairman of the advisory committee for personal security, claimed that an assassination attempt against Yair Netanyahu in Miami was foiled at the last moment. According to Cohen, a cell attributed to Hezbollah approached the area where Netanyahu was staying, following the elimination of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. The claim comes from a single source and has not been independently verified.

The claim, reported via the source linked to the advisory committee, adds a new dimension to the security situation following the elimination of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, which Israel confirmed on July 6. The Zioneer has previously reported on an earlier foiled attempt against a member of the Netanyahu family, though details of that incident were not disclosed. The current claim, from a single official source, has not been independently verified. The identity of the Hezbollah cell and the precise timing of the foiled attempt remain unclear.
