Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a strong message on Saturday after a drone, launched from Lebanon, targeted his residence in Caesarea. Netanyahu vowed that those responsible would face severe consequences, saying, "Iran's proxies who tried to assassinate me and my wife today made a grave mistake." His office confirmed that neither he nor his wife were at home during the incident, and there were no injuries.
He took to X and said, "This will not deter me or the State of Israel from continuing our just war against our enemies in order to secure our future. I say to Iran and its proxies in its axis of evil: Anyone who tries to harm Israel’s citizens will pay a heavy price. We will continue to eliminate the terrorists and those who dispatch them. We will bring our hostages home from Gaza. And we will return our citizens who live on our Northern border safely to their homes. Israel is determined to achieve all our war objectives and change the security reality in our region for generations to come..."
This attack comes amid a significant escalation of violence. Hezbollah, an Iran-backed group, launched a barrage of rockets into Israel from Lebanon on Saturday morning. Sirens echoed across Israel as projectiles landed, with the port city of Acre seeing one fatality, while five others were wounded in Kiryat Ata. In retaliation, Israel launched air strikes on Gaza, targeting northern Jabalia, where 33 people were reported killed.
The situation in Gaza remains dire, with heavy fighting and ongoing Israeli airstrikes. Netanyahu emphasized that the conflict is far from over, said, "While the killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar is significant, it is not the end, but the beginning of the end."
As tensions rise on multiple fronts, Iran's involvement looms large. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi commented on the growing potential for regional war, stating that while Iran seeks to reduce tensions, "we are ready for any scenario."
The Israeli military is now assessing the extent of the damage caused by the drone strike and other attacks, but Netanyahu’s warning to Iranian-backed forces suggests further escalation in an already volatile region.
