Two flares hit Benjamin Netanyahu’s residence in Caesarea, Israel. A “serious incident” according to the authorities. No one claimed responsibility for this action, but three suspects were arrested.
Two flares landed in front of the private residence of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, located in Caesarea, the Israeli security services announced on Saturday (November 16), describing the incident as “serious”. The Prime Minister and his family were not present at the time of the incident. Three suspects were arrested this Sunday, November 17, according to Israeli police.
According to a joint statement from the police and the Shin Bet, Israel’s domestic intelligence service, the rockets hit the courtyard of the residence around 7:30 p.m. The authorities stressed the seriousness of the incident and described it as a “dangerous escalation”, without specifying the origin of the shots.
The police department specified that a ban on the publication of information on the investigation or the identity of the suspects for a period of 30 days was ordered.
This residence already targeted last month
Israeli President Isaac Herzog strongly condemned the event, warning of an increase in violence in public spaces. He said he spoke with the head of the Shin Bet and insisted on the need for a rapid investigation to find and try those responsible.
This incident occurs in a tense context. On October 22, a drone had already been fired in the direction of this residence, an attack claimed by Hezbollah a few days later, which had accused Netanyahu of war crimes.
Israel has been carrying out a military offensive against Hezbollah in Lebanon since September, aiming to restore security in the north of its territory, after months marked by rocket attacks towards Israeli territory.
