Drone strikes Netanyahu’s residence

According to media reports, a drone launched from Lebanon struck the residence of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Caesarea on Saturday.

The Netanyahu's office confirmed in a statement that the drone was aimed at Netanyahu's private home, but noted that the premier and his family were not present at the time of the attack.

Earlier, the Israeli army reported that three drones were fired from Lebanon, with two successfully intercepted and the third crashing into a building in Caesarea. Fortunately, there were no reported casualties from the incident.

This drone attack occurs amid ongoing cross-border hostilities between Israeli forces and Hezbollah, which have intensified since the Gaza conflict began last October.

Israel has escalated its offensive in Lebanon, resulting in significant casualties, including the deaths of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and several other commanders.

The extensive airstrikes, followed by a ground invasion, have claimed over 1,500 lives and displaced approximately 1.2 million people.
