Four Israeli citizens have been indicted on Monday on charges of terrorism, recklessness with fire, and attempted arson after allegedly firing marine flares at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's private residence in Caesarea. The incident occurred last month, and the charges were filed by Israel's State Prosecutor and announced by the Justice Ministry. The indictment alleges that the suspects intended to instill public fear and took significant risks in their actions, though it was noted that Netanyahu was not at home during the attack. The case has sparked controversy, with some critics claiming the charges represent political persecution of protesters. The suspects' detention has been extended for 10 days as the legal proceedings continue.
