Drone strike launched from Lebanon towards Netanyahu’s home, no casualties reported

A drone strike was launched Saturday morning on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s home in the city of Caesarea, north of Tel Aviv, according to the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office.

Netanyahu and his wife were not in the building and there was no causal link.

The Israeli military said a drone crossing from Lebanon “hit a structure in the Caesarea area,” while Israeli news channel Ynet reported the sound of an explosion in the city.

The IDF added that two other drones were intercepted and the incident was being investigated.

The attack comes just days after Israel killed Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar during a military operation in the Gaza Strip.

Sinwar was the architect of the Hamas terrorist attacks on October 7, 2023, and his killing in the battle was the culmination of a years-long manhunt by the IDF.

Netanyahu said Sinwar’s death was the “beginning of the end” for Hamas, but that the war “is not over yet.”

Following the confirmation of Sinwar’s death, Hezbollah, the Iran-backed militant group and ally of Hamas in Lebanon, vowed to escalate the fight against Israel.
