Israeli PM’s office says one of Netanyahu’s residences hit by a Hezbollah drone attack.

We have seen videos posted by the residents in Caesarea on the drone attack on Netanyahu’s residence.

The house was struck in the attack. Neither Netanyahu nor his family were present at the time of the incident.

  • The Israeli military has imposed a very tight censor and restrictions on the Israeli media and has also sealed off the area.

Business people and politicians live in the area, where a lot of power and strategic assets are concentrated, including military bases and oil refineries.

No warning sirens went off in Caesarea, while they did in the neighbouring areas, such as Haifa.

Hezbollah uses the tactic of launching drones and rockets together to different targets, evading any kind of detection.
