Drone Attack Netanyahu Residence Amidst Rising Tensions

The drone attack Netanyahu experienced was reported on Saturday, but fortunately, the prime minister and his wife were not present at the residence during the incident, according to his spokesperson.
No Injuries Reported from Drone Attack
The drone, launched from Lebanon, struck a building near Netanyahu’s residence. Israeli forces stated that two additional drones crossing into Israeli territory were intercepted. The drone attack Netanyahu’s residence faced was not claimed by Hezbollah or any other militant group, although tensions between Israel and Hezbollah have been high since the October 7 attacks.
Ongoing Conflict Between Israel and Hezbollah
Israel has been engaged in a broader conflict with Hezbollah in Lebanon, exchanging rocket fire and conducting airstrikes. The drone attack Netanyahu’s residence followed an Israeli airstrike that targeted Hezbollah’s regional command center.
