A drone was launched towards Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s private residence in Caesarea earlier today. Fortunately, Netanyahu and his wife were absent, and no injuries were reported.
Israeli forces successfully intercepted two drones crossing into Israel from Lebanon, while a third drone struck a building in Caesarea. Militants in Lebanon launched approximately 55 rockets into Israel since morning.
The ongoing hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah have escalated tensions in the region. Israel has responded to the rocket attacks by targeting locations in Lebanon linked to the Iran-backed Hezbollah group.
In a striking incident, an Israeli strike in Jounieh, a Christian-majority town near Beirut, claimed two lives. The attack targeted a moving car traveling along the main highway, as reported by local media. Notably, this strike diverges from Israel’s typical focus on Shia Muslim-majority areas with Hezbollah presence.
Netanyahu’s residence was not the only target. The IDF reported three drones entering Israel from Lebanon, highlighting heightened security concerns. The prime minister’s office confirmed no damage or injuries at his Caesarea residence.
The Israel Defense Forces remain on high alert, with security personnel deployed to protect sensitive areas. Netanyahu has been using two private homes, in Caesarea and Jerusalem, and has also spent time at Beit Aghion, the prime minister’s official residence in Jerusalem.
Lebanon’s health ministry reported two fatalities in the Israeli strike in Jounieh. The incident has sparked concerns about the widening conflict.
As tensions continue to escalate, the international community is closely monitoring the situation. The conflict’s implications extend beyond the region, sparking global concern.
The IDF’s response to the drone and rocket attacks demonstrates Israel’s commitment to protecting its sovereignty. The situation remains volatile.
