Drone strike launched from Lebanon towards Netanyahu's house, no casualties reported
SUMMARY
A drone strike launched from Lebanon targeted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's residence in Caesarea on Saturday morning, though no casualties were reported as Netanyahu and his wife were not home. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed that the drone hit a building in the area, while two additional drones were intercepted. This attack follows the recent death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, who was killed by Israeli forces in a military operation. Sinwar, responsible for orchestrating the October 2023 Hamas attacks, had been a target of a yearlong IDF manhunt. The drone strike is part of escalating tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, the Iran-backed terror group based in Lebanon, which has vowed to intensify its attacks on Israel following Sinwar's death. The IDF also reported heavy rocket fire from Lebanon, with sirens sounding across northern Israel for several hours. Despite calls for cease-fire, the conflict continues to escalate.
