Drone launched towards Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s house
There were no casualties in the incident in Caesarea.
A drone has been launched towards Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s house but no casualties have been reported, according to the government.
Sirens wailed on Saturday morning in Israel, warning of incoming fire from Lebanon, with a drone launched towards Mr Netanyahu’s house in Caesarea, officials said.
Neither he nor his wife were home and there were no casualties, his spokesperson said.
“The proxies of Iran who today tried to assassinate me and my wife made a bitter mistake,” Mr Netanyahu said.
Hezbollah did not claim responsibility for the drone attack but said it carried out several rocket attacks on northern and central Israel.
The barrage came as Israel is expected to respond to an attack earlier this month by Iran, which backs both Hamas and Hezbollah.
Israel in turn carried out at least 10 airstrikes on Beirut’s southern suburbs known as Dahiyeh, a heavily populated area home to Hezbollah’s offices, Lebanese authorities said. Israel’s military said it struck Hezbollah targets.
