Car Registered to Netanyahu's Driver Involved in Assassination Attempt Investigation

A vehicle registered to a driver in the Prime Minister's Office was found at the scene of an attempted assassination of Mor Domrani, the son of crime figure Shalom Domrani, in Ashkelon over the weekend. Nine individuals were detained by police on suspicion of attempted murder following the shooting incident.

During the investigation, it was revealed that the car involved belongs to Boaz Assayag, who serves as a driver in the Prime Minister's Office. Assayag had previously testified as a witness in a trial involving Benjamin Netanyahu, detailing his work in the Prime Minister's motorcade. Police emphasized that the car was not part of the Prime Minister's official convoy at the time of the shooting.

Authorities believe that Assayag's son was driving the car during the incident and he has also been detained as part of the investigation. Investigators suspect the assailants targeted the vehicle intending to harm Mor Domrani.

Further details emerged during a court hearing, where a police representative stated that after the shooting, the car proceeded to the Erez checkpoint. Assayag's son was found with a BB gun and a police cap inside the vehicle, along with police emergency lights. The car is currently in police custody.

While all suspects were initially arrested, some have since been moved to house arrest. The investigation into the shooting and the potential involvement of the detainees continues.
