Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has claimed that Iran attempted to kill one of his sons. In an interview with Israel’s Channel 14 on Monday, Netanyahu described the alleged incident as extraordinary and said Iran had targeted one of his children.

Netanyahu did not provide details on when or where the alleged attempt occurred, or identify which of his sons was targeted. He has two sons and a daughter. The report cites Al Jazeera and The Jerusalem Post as sources.

Israeli authorities decided in July to provide additional personal security to Netanyahu’s wife and two sons. His elder son, 35-year-old Yair Netanyahu, has been living in Miami, United States, since early 2024. The use of Israeli taxpayers’ money for Yair Netanyahu’s security has been a subject of controversy.
