Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a stern warning to Hezbollah, Iran’s proxy, after a drone launched from Lebanon targeted his private residence in Caesarea.
Fortunately, Netanyahu and his wife were not home during the attack. Israel’s air defences intercepted two other drones launched that same morning, setting off sirens in Tel Aviv.
Netanyahu condemned the attempted "assassination" and stressed that it would not deter Israel’s efforts.
In a social media post, he stated that Israel remains committed to its fight against terrorism, warning Iran and its allies of severe consequences for threatening Israeli citizens.
He affirmed that Israel would continue to eliminate terrorists and those who support them, promising to rescue hostages from Gaza and protect its northern citizens.
Hezbollah’s drone attack highlights growing tensions.
Netanyahu’s strong response reflects Israel’s determination to change the region’s security landscape for the long term.
The Prime Minister also addressed Gaza residents, stating that the ongoing conflict could end swiftly if Hamas lays down its arms and releases the hostages.
This incident follows the killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, whom Netanyahu referred to as a pivotal figure in the conflict. Israeli Defence Forces confirmed his death in Rafah, signalling what Netanyahu called “the beginning of the end” for Hamas.
In his statement, Netanyahu reiterated that Israel’s war efforts are justified and will continue until the state’s security is secured.
