A drone from Lebanon allegedly targeted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s residence in Caesarea, according to reports from local media. The incident took place amid rising tensions between the two countries, with Israeli officials expressing concerns over possible retaliatory attacks.
The drone flew into Israeli airspace from Lebanon, where Hezbollah, a Lebanese militant group, has a strong presence. It reportedly flew over the Mediterranean Sea before turning towards Caesarea, where Netanyahu’s residence is located. The Israeli military quickly intercepted the drone and brought it down before it could reach its target.
Israeli officials have not confirmed the exact target of the drone, but the incident has raised concerns about the potential threat posed by unmanned aerial vehicles in the region. Netanyahu, who was not present at his residence at the time of the incident, has been a vocal critic of Iran and its allies, including Hezbollah, which it supports.
The incident comes at a time when tensions between Israel and Lebanon are already high, with both countries exchanging threats and accusations in recent months. Israel has conducted multiple airstrikes on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon, while Hezbollah has vowed to retaliate against Israeli aggression.
The Israeli military has warned that it will not tolerate any attacks on its territory and will respond forcefully to any threat. The incident with the drone serves as a reminder of the ongoing conflict and the potential for escalation in the region.
As the situation continues to unfold, both Israel and Lebanon will need to carefully navigate the delicate balance of power to avoid further escalation and maintain stability in the region.
