Security Around Minister Ben-Gvir Increased Following Threats

Security measures surrounding Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir have been enhanced due to threats directed at him and his family on social media. The threats emerged after a video was published showing Ben-Gvir and his wife, Ayala, firing weapons at a shooting range. Following the video's circulation, reactions and threats against the minister and his family were identified online.

The minister's office filed a complaint with the Israel Police, which has launched an investigation to identify the suspect responsible for the threats. Security officials are taking the threats seriously, leading to the decision to bolster Ben-Gvir's security detail. This measure aims to ensure the minister's safety while allowing the police to complete their investigation.

In response to the situation, a statement from Ben-Gvir's office declared, "11 times they tried to assassinate Minister Ben-Gvir and he was not deterred, and will not be deterred. The minister will continue to lead a determined policy of governance, weapon distribution, uncompromising enforcement, and appropriate punishment for cursed terrorists."
