Israeli police filed charges on Thursday against Ilya Azard, a 26-year-old man from Bnei Brak, for throwing two glass salt shakers toward a table where former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett was seated. The incident occurred during a campaign visit by Bennett to a restaurant in the city on September 24. According to the indictment, Azard first threw a salt shaker that struck two women on Bennett's staff, one in the neck and the other in the leg. He then threw another glass object resembling a salt shaker, which landed near the table. Bennett himself was unharmed. Azard was apprehended at the scene and taken for questioning. The charges against Azard include assault, attempted assault, and disturbing public order. Prosecutors have requested that he remain under house arrest until the conclusion of legal proceedings.
