Shin Bet Director Nadav Argaman hosted family members at his home for the start of the Sukkot holiday, violating coronavirus lockdown regulations, Israeli public broadcaster KAN reported Tuesday.
According to the report, among the guests were Argaman's daughter, who lives several kilometers from his home, his wife's daughter from a previous marriage, her husband and their children.
A spokesperson for the security agency said, "they do not comment on the director's personal life."
Earlier Tuesday, it was also reported that Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit will rule whether to launch a criminal investigation against Environmental Protection Minister Gila Gamliel, who allegedly flouted coronavirus regulations and withheld information from health authorities, after police handed its findings to the Justice Ministry.
Gamliel reportedly traveled to Tiberias on Yom Kippur, some 150 kilometers (95 miles) away from her Tel Aviv home, despite Israelis being prohibited from venturing more than one kilometer (0.6 miles) away from home.
The Likud minister also allegedly flouted restrictions on religious activities, which prohibit civilians from participating in public prayer services farther than one kilometer from their place of residence, and prayed at a synagogue in the northern town where her father-in-law serves as rabbi.
At least eight worshipers from all over Israel have contracted coronavirus at the synagogue in Tiberias, including Gamliel.
