A hand grenade was thrown towards the Sderot house of a senior Defense Ministry official on Saturday night, N12 reported. No injuries were reported in the incident.
The official has reportedly alerted law enforcement that attempts to hurt him and his family were made several times over the last 18 months. "I spoke with police, judges - they did not do anything about it," he told N12.
Surveillance footage from the home showed people passing by the house and then a grenade being thrown towards the house.
