i24NEWS reveals new details about the Iranian assassination attempt on Yair Netanyahu, the son of the Prime Minister, which occurred in Miami in December 2025. According to the report, Israeli intelligence uncovered an Iranian plot to harm Netanyahu, and an Iranian hit squad was already on the ground, conducting surveillance and observations of his residence and daily routine. Upon receiving the alert, an urgent report was passed to US authorities, and Netanyahu, accompanied by close Israeli security, was instructed to leave immediately. He fled without his personal belongings and flew to Israel, landing on December 7. The security guards accompanying him could not provide an adequate response to the threat, so two additional security teams of President Isaac Herzog, who were in New York, were called in to assist in the rescue. Netanyahu was quickly transferred to the airport and took off that same night. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu first revealed the affair live on Channel 14, after the military censor had banned its publication. Following the reports, the Shin Bet officially confirmed that there was a "significant threat to harm Yair Netanyahu" and that a decision was made to evacuate him urgently.
