At the time of the attack, the Prime Minister was not at his home in Caesarea.

The Israeli army stated that no one was injured during the attack and that the air defense system also intercepted two other drones.

Alarm in Tel Aviv

An air raid alert was also declared in Tel Aviv, which is located further south.

The air defense detected a drone heading towards the Glilot district, where key Israeli intelligence service headquarters, including the Mossad, are located.

Escalation in the Middle East

Hezbollah, supported by Iran, has been regularly shelling northern Israel since the conflict in the Gaza Strip broke out a year ago, leading to decisive responses.

For several weeks, Israel has been conducting intense air raids and a ground operation in southern Lebanon, stating that their goal is to eliminate the threat from Hezbollah.
