The beachside home of Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu was damaged in a drone strike claimed by Hezbollah, as shown in video footage geolocated. The attack occurred in the coastal city of Caesarea, while Netanyahu and his wife were fortunately not at home during the incident, and no injuries were reported.
The drone strike has raised concerns about how the unmanned aerial vehicle managed to evade Israel's air defenses, especially amidst ongoing Israeli military operations in Lebanon and the weakening of Hezbollah's leadership.
An exterior photo of the damaged house revealed cracks and burn marks on a bedroom window, indicating the extent of the damage caused by the drone strike. The Israeli military confirmed that three UAVs were detected crossing into Israeli territory from Lebanon, with two being intercepted and one successfully hitting a structure in Caesarea.
While the Israeli prime minister's spokesperson acknowledged the attack on the day it occurred, Israeli authorities only confirmed on Tuesday that the drone had struck the house. Hezbollah later claimed full responsibility for the attack and issued a warning of potential future actions, stating, 'If we haven't reached you yet, know that between us and you are the days, the nights, and the battlefield.'
