Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said those who tried to “assassinate me and my wife on Saturday made a bitter mistake” after a drone was launched toward his home in Caesarea in central Israel on Saturday.
The Israeli military confirmed earlier that the drone had been launched from Lebanon, and the prime minister’s spokesperson said that the attack had targeted Netanyahu’s home. Neither he nor his wife were at home at the time and nobody else was injured, according to his office.
Netanyahu said the “agents of Iran” meaning Hezbollah were behind the attack and would “pay a heavy price.”
As at press time, Hezbollah has not claimed responsibility.
He said that after the killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, Israeli forces will “continue forward until the end.”
“We eliminated the master murderer Yahya Sinwar,” he said.
