A drone was launched towards Benjamin Netanyahu’s home in northern Israel , in a first assassination attempt on the Prime Minister. Netanyahu’s spokesman said he was not at home at the time the drone was launched. The Israeli military said a drone was launched from Lebanon and it had hit a building but it was not immediately clear what the building was.
Two more drones that crossed into Israeli territory were intercepted, the military said. There were no casualties reported, according to the Israeli ambulance service and police said explosions had been heard in Caesarea, coastal town where Netanyahu has a holiday home. The drone attack was not immediately claimed by the Lebanese Iran-backed group Hezbollah, which has been trading fire with Israel since last October, or any other militant group.
