Hezbollah launched a drone attack from Lebanon, aiming at an Israeli building with the intent of targeting Prime Minister Netanyahu's home. This assault took place in the Haifa-Caesarea region of Israel.
A spokesperson for Prime Minister Netanyahu issued a statement saying an UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) was launched towards the Prime Minister's house. Fortunately, the Prime Minister and his wife were not present, and there were no casualties from the incident.
The Israeli security forces confirmed this attack by stating that the drone fell in an open area, with no casualties. According to the IDF, warning sirens in the Haifa region were triggered this morning by rockets fired from Lebanon.
According to Israeli media, an explosion occurred on a drone near Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's residence in southern Haifa's Caesarea.
The Drone's Accuracy in Hitting Targets
Emerging information reveals that the drone was capable of directly hitting its target. Israeli security forces acknowledged failure in their air defense system's attempt to prevent the attack, allowing the drone to infiltrate their territory.
A major security breach has been identified, as the drone flew past a military helicopter searching the outskirts of Haifa.
Sirens Erupt in Tel Aviv
The Israeli army reported that three drones headed from Lebanon towards Haifa, out of which only two were detected and intercepted. The third drone accurately struck a building in Caesarea. Eyewitnesses confirmed the explosion was incredibly loud.
The drone flew approximately 70 kilometers from Lebanon and crashed directly into a building in Caesarea, with fragments reaching a neighboring structure. Following the drone's entry into Israeli airspace, sirens began wailing at military bases in the northern Tel Aviv Glilot settlement. The Israeli army also noted that the drone lingered above for an hour before striking the building.
This attack occurred as Hezbollah vowed to escalate operations in response to the brutal Israeli assault on Lebanon and the massacre in Gaza.
