Iranian-backed Hezbollah terrorists targeted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s private home in Caesarea early on Saturday with a suicide drone.
“The prime minister and his wife were not at the residence at the time of the attack and there were no casualties,” his office said in a statement.
Hezbollah launched three drones as part of the attack. Israeli helicopters managed to shoot down two of the drones, but the third evaded being destroyed.
“We’re continuing our battle with Iran’s other terrorist proxies,” Netanyahu said in a rare video statement released on Shabbat, the Jewish day of rest, following the assassination attempt. “We’re going to win this war.”
He said that nothing would deter him from accomplishing Israel’s goals.
Some reports suggested that the drone hit a building near his home, however, one photo posted online showed damage at a residence that appeared to match his home.
This marks the first time since the current Islamic war against Israel erupted just over a year ago that Netanyahu has been directly targeted, according to Israeli correspondent Barak Ravid.
The attacks come after Hezbollah vowed this week to escalate its war against Israel after Israel terminated the leader of Iranian-backed Hamas terror group, Yahya Sinwar, on the battlefield this week. Sinwar was the mastermind of Hamas’ October 7 attacked in which 1,200 people inside Israel were murdered.
