Shin Bet Director Ronen Bar has stated that those involved in firing flash bombs at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's residence will be dealt with severely. He emphasized that this kind of incident is not a legitimate form of protest and is reaching dangerous levels of activism. Bar also highlighted that the Shin Bet is responsible for protecting symbols of the Israeli government and rule, including the prime minister, and will not tolerate violence against such symbols. The agency acted swiftly with the police to locate and arrest the suspects involved in the incident.
