A drone attack targeted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s private residence in Caesarea, Israel, on October 19, 2024. Fortunately, Netanyahu and his wife weren’t present, and no injuries were reported ¹. The attack involved three drones launched from Lebanon, with one striking a building in Caesarea, although it’s unclear if it was part of Netanyahu’s residence or sustained significant damage. Israeli defense forces intercepted the other two drones.
The incident is part of escalating tensions between Israel and Lebanon, with over 55 rockets launched from Lebanon into Israel that day ¹. Israel has responded by targeting Lebanese locations tied to the Iran-backed Hezbollah group. This exchange follows an Israeli strike in Jounieh, resulting in two fatalities, marking an unusual shift in Israeli operations .
The situation remains tense, with Israel continuing to retaliate against Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon amid ongoing exchanges since October
