The Shin Bet security agency has deployed protective details for three opposition party leaders following a surge in security threats. The protected politicians include Yashar party leader Moshe Eisenkot, Democrats party chief Yair Golan, and People of Israel party head Ofer Winter.

The security escalation follows a physical attack on former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s entourage in Tel Aviv, indicating deteriorating security conditions for political figures. The Times of Israel reported that the threats have prompted the security establishment to intervene with protective measures for opposition leaders across the political spectrum.

This development reflects heightened political tensions in Israel, with opposition figures facing sufficient security risks to warrant government-provided protection, marking an unusual measure for Israeli politics during a period of domestic political instability.
