Left-wing protester Haim Shidmi, who threatened Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's son, Yair Netanyahu, was released Friday noon after being interrogated by the Israel Police's Lahav 433 unit, Israeli media reported.
According to the report, the man, alongside two other left-wing protesters, is being interrogated on suspicion of incitement and making deadly threats against Netanyahu junior they made during a protest under the prime minister's residence on Jerusalem's Balfour Street.
Following the protests, social media users began posting videos showing Shidmi allegedly calling to throw Molotov cocktails at the residence.
The interrogation, according to Channel 12's police affairs correspondent Moshe Nussbaum, was carried out following a special permit given by the State Attorney's office on Thursday following four complaints, including those of Netanyahu senior and Netanyahu junior.
"You know why you have bodyguards," Shidmi said, speaking to the prime minister's son through a megaphone. "One day, you will be without your bodyguards, and no one can know [what will happen then]."
