According to government information, a Lebanese Hezbollah drone attack on the Israeli city of Caesarea targeted Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. A spokesperson confirmed this to the German Press Agency. Neither Netanyahu nor his wife were at home at the time of the attack, he said. Netanyahu’s private home is located in Caesarea, a coastal town on the Mediterranean Sea. According to the army, no one was injured in the attack.
Then the head of the government looked combative. Netanyahu said in a video posted on social media that he would not be disturbed. Israel will win. Netanyahu later wrote on X that Hezbollah’s attempt to “murder” him and his wife was a serious mistake.
No injuries
Netanyahu’s spokesman did not say where exactly the drone hit. Such information is normally not allowed to be published in Israel because it could be used by opponents for future attacks. The media reported an impact close to Netanyahu’s home.
The Lebanese terrorist militia Hezbollah, which is allied with Hamas in the Gaza Strip, has been firing rockets and drones at Israel almost daily since the Gaza war began in October last year. It is said that there were about 180 projections on Saturday alone. Since then, thousands of Israelis have been internally displaced. Israel is defending itself with a counterattack to protect its citizens and to prevent further attacks from Lebanon. dpa/yes
