The private home of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was targeted by a drone this Saturday morning. The device arrived from Lebanon. Benjamin Netanyahu was absent.
A drone was launched towards Benjamin Netanyahu’s private residence in Caesarea, the Israeli Prime Minister’s office said this Saturday, after the army announced that a drone from Lebanon had hit a “structure” in this city coastal area of central Israel.
“A drone was launched towards the Prime Minister’s house in Caesarea. The Prime Minister and his wife were not there and the incident caused no casualties,” Benjamin Netanyahu’s services said in a statement. It was unclear whether the residence was the “structure” the military previously referred to. According to the military, the attack did not cause any injuries and two other drones were intercepted.
