The Israeli army reports a drone attack near Netanyahu’s home

A drone launched from Lebanon crashed into a building in the Israeli city of Caesarea, where Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lives, the Israeli military said on Saturday.

According to Israeli media reports, it was initially not known whether Netanyahu was in the coastal town between Tel Aviv and Haifa at the time of the attack.

No one was injured in the incident, the army said. Two more unmanned aerial vehicles were intercepted.

There was also an air alert in Tel Aviv, 55 kilometers south, when a drone reportedly approached the Glilot district, where the headquarters of the Israeli foreign intelligence agency Mossad and another intelligence center are located.

According to the army, sirens sounded in numerous other locations in northern Israel, including in the city of Tiberias on the western bank of the Sea of ​​Galilee.

The Lebanese Shiite militia Hezbollah, allied with Hamas in the Gaza Strip, has fired rockets and drones at Israel almost daily since the Gaza war began in October last year.

Following news of the death of Hamas leader Yehya al-Sinwar in Gaza, the Iran-backed militia announced a “new phase of escalation.”
