Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife Sara Feb. 20 2018
Officers reportedly questioned his wife, Sara, at a separate location.
Police investigators entered Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's official residence in Jerusalem on Friday as authorities continue to investigate the embattled leader over another bribery case.
According to Israeli media reports, police are expected to question the prime minister in Case 4000, the so-called "telecom case", one of a growing list of bribery investigations dogging the already struggling prime minister.
A former Netanyahu aide and a top businessman are both in custody, linked to allegations of suspected fraud by the premier.
Last month, two Netanyahu confidants were arrested on suspicion of promoting regulation worth hundreds of millions of dollars to the Bezeq telecom company. In return, Bezeq's news site, Walla, allegedly provided positive Netanyahu coverage.
Friday's questioning marked the first time Netanyahu and his wife were questioned in the corruption investigation, known as Case 4000.

Rodchenkov now lives in hiding in the United States. "The acrimony caused by Bach's mismanagement should be his undoing", Walden said.
Sarah Netanyahu, who was summoned only to testify, may have to explain some text message communications she had with Elovitch's wife, Iris, YNet News reported Friday. "The continuation of the systematic false leaks against Mrs. Netanyahu is done in an effort to hurt the government and the Likud rule".
The cases have fuelled speculation he could be forced to step down or call an early election but Netanyahu says he is innocent of any wrongdoing.
The Associated Press, alongside other agency cameras, caught detectives arriving in two vehicles around 9 a.m., but there has been no official police statement on the ongoing investigation.
The controlling shareholder of Bezeq Telecom, Shaul Elovitch, is now in police custody, along with a former Netanyahu spokesman.
In the other case, investigators suspect the premier of trying to reach an agreement with the owner of Yediot Aharonot, a top Israeli daily newspaper, for more favourable coverage.
