Following the failed drone strike on one of his properties, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Iran and its allies of an assassination attempt. Netanyahu said on Saturday evening that Iran and its allies would “regret” the attempt to “kill” him and his wife. According to Iranian sources, the Hezbollah militia in Lebanon is behind the drone attack.
“I say to the Iranians and their partners in the Axis of Evil: anyone who harms the citizens of the State of Israel will pay a high price,” Netanyahu said.
“Iran once again shows its true colors”

Netanyahu was not at home at the time of the attack
A Hezbollah drone strike from Lebanon on the Israeli city of Caesarea targeted Netanyahu. This was confirmed by a government spokesperson. However, Netanyahu and his wife were not at home at the time of the attack. There is a Netanyahu house in Caesarea, a coastal town on the Mediterranean Sea. The spokesperson did not say where exactly the drone hit.
50 year old was killed
One man died in Israel as a result of the Hezbollah attacks. The 50-year-old was hit by shrapnel in his car, Magen David Adom’s aides explained.
115 projectiles from Lebanon towards Israel
According to the Israeli army, approximately 115 projectiles were fired towards Israel from Lebanon on Saturday morning. Some were intercepted and others were hit in open areas. However, according to media reports, populated areas such as Kiryat Ata, east of the port city of Haifa, were also affected.
Air alarm in Tel Aviv
There was also an air raid siren in the coastal metropolis of Tel Aviv. A drone approached the Glilot district, where the headquarters of Israel’s foreign secret service Mossad and another secret service headquarters are located. According to the army, the sirens also sounded in Haifa, in numerous places in northern Israel such as the city of Tiberias on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee and on the Golan Heights.
Two dead after Israeli counter-attack
Authorities say two people have been killed in an Israeli counterattack north of the Lebanese capital Beirut. The Lebanese Health Ministry said the attack in the Jounieh area targeted a vehicle. The area of the drone attack in the multi-religious country is predominantly inhabited by Christians. Panic broke out among the residents there. Eyewitnesses reported that they previously felt safe there from Israeli attacks.
It is the first time that Jounieh has been hit since fighting broke out between Israel and Hezbollah. The Israeli military initially made no comment on the attack.
