Prime Minister’s wife Sarah Netanyahu was attacked by a woman as she visited the Ovnat shopping mall in Petach Tikva. The woman cursed and spat at Mrs. Netanyahu and flung a shoe in her direction.

Netanyahu was not physically hurt and her bodyguards seized the attacker and detained her until police arrived on the scene. The woman was taken to the Petach Tikva police station for interrogation.

Netanyahu continued with her visit to the shopping center after the incident.

An officer in the police’s Central District told the NRG website that the woman seems to be mentally deranged.
