Israel Drone struck near Netanyahu's house

According to the Israeli military, a drone launched in Lebanon has crashed into a building in the city of Caesarea, where a residence of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is located. According to Israeli media reports, it was initially unknown whether Netanyahu was in the coastal town on the Mediterranean at the time of the attack. According to the army, no one was injured. Two other unmanned flying objects were intercepted.

There was also an air alert in the coastal metropolis of Tel Aviv further south. There, a drone was reportedly approaching the Glilot district, where the headquarters of the Israeli foreign intelligence service Mossad and another intelligence center are located. According to the army, sirens were also wailing in numerous places in northern Israel, such as the city of Tiberias on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee.

The Lebanese Shia militia Hezbollah, which is allied with Hamas in the Gaza Strip, has been firing rockets and drones at Israel almost daily since the beginning of the Gaza war in October last year. Following the news of the death of Hamas leader Jihia al-Sinwar in the Gaza Strip on Thursday, the Iranian-backed militia announced a "new phase of escalation".
