The office of Israel’s prime minister, on Saturday, confirmed the launch of a drone strike towards the private residence of Israel Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.
According to the Israeli military, three drones were fired from Lebanon into Israeli territory on the same day, with one striking a building in Caesarea.
However, it remains unclear if the affected building was part of Netanyahu’s residence or if it sustained major damage. The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) reported that the remaining two drones were intercepted.
In a statement released at 08:19 local time (06:19 BST), the IDF said, “In the last hour, three unmanned aerial vehicles crossed into the country from Lebanon. Two of the aircraft were intercepted. Another aircraft hit a building in Caesarea, no injuries.”
The drone attack is part of increasing hostilities between Israel and Lebanon. The IDF further revealed that over 55 rockets were launched from Lebanon into Israel on the same day. In response, Israeli forces have continued to strike Hezbollah-linked positions in Lebanon.
It was reported that the Prime Minister and his wife were not at home during the attack, and no casualties were recorded.
