No injuries reported; Axios report claims PM’s home was hit; residents report buzzing sound before blast; no warning sirens; two other drones shot down; Netanyahu: ‘Nothing will deter us’ A drone fired by Hezbollah from Lebanon that exploded in the central seaside town of Caesarea early on Saturday targeted Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s private home, his office said.
The premier and his wife were not present and no injuries were reported.
The short statement from Netanyahu’s office came after the IDF said that “a building had been hit” in the upscale town famous for its swanky villas and Roman ruins and amphitheater.
An Axios report said that the drone hit the prime minister’s house: “This is the first time since the beginning of the war that a target affiliated directly with Netanyahu has been hit,” it reported.
It was not immediately clear if the prime minister’s home suffered any damage. The IDF said the drone was one of three launched from Lebanon, and that the other two were shot down.
The military said it was investigating the incident that apparently saw several failures of Israel’s warning system. No warning sirens were sounded in Caesarea ahead of the drone impact and explosion.
