a drone was launched toward Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s residence in the northern Israeli town of Caesarea, according to a statement from his spokesman. Fortunately, the prime minister was not at the location at the time of the attack, and no casualties were reported. Netanyahu’s Caesarea home serves as a vacation residence, and the incident took place amid heightened tensions in the region.
Earlier that day, the Israeli military reported that a drone had been launched from Lebanon and struck a building. It was not immediately clear what the building was or if it was related to Netanyahu’s property. The military also confirmed that two additional drones had crossed into Israeli airspace but were intercepted before they could cause any harm.
The Israeli ambulance service and police reported no casualties, although explosions were heard in the Caesarea area. Authorities acted swiftly to secure the site and ensure the safety of the surrounding region.
As of now, no militant group has claimed responsibility for the drone attack. The Lebanese Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah, which has been engaged in periodic exchanges of fire with Israeli forces since October, has not commented on the incident. However, Hezbollah is considered a key suspect due to the proximity of the launch site in Lebanon and their ongoing hostilities with Israel.
The drone attack comes at a time when tensions are high along the Israel-Lebanon border, and the situation has grown increasingly volatile in recent months. Israeli forces and Hezbollah have frequently exchanged rocket fire and other forms of military action, leading to concerns of a broader escalation in the conflict.
In response to the drone activity, Israeli defense forces have increased security measures in the northern region, while the government remains vigilant for further threats. While the attack on Netanyahu’s residence did not result in significant damage, it raises concerns about the effectiveness of security and defense systems in safeguarding high-profile targets in Israel.
This latest incident adds to the growing list of security threats Israel faces from militant groups in Lebanon and Gaza, further straining an already tense situation in the Middle East.
