Jerusalem, October 19
One of the drones fired at Israel from Lebanon earlier Saturday morning targeted Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s private residence in the coastal city of Caesarea.
The Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) confirmed that the premier’s private residence in Caesarea was targeted in a drone attack from Lebanon earlier this morning. In a short statement, the PMO said Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife Sara were not home at the time of the attack. There were no injuries in the incident.
Posts on social media also claimed that the building that was hit in the attack was part of Netanyahu’s house.
The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) said that three drones were fired at Israel from Lebanon, with one of them hitting a building in Caesarea. There are no injuries reported, it said, adding that the other two drones were intercepted.
The IDF says that due to the incident, warning sirens also sounded in Glilot, north of Tel Aviv. However, the IDF has now ruled out a drone attack in the area.
The IDF said the incident was under investigation. The IDF said that warning sirens that sounded in the Haifa area this morning were triggered by a rocket that was fired from Lebanon.
The rocket fell in an open area and did not cause any injuries.
