Two flares were fired at the residence of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Caesarea, marking a significant security breach. The incident, described as a 'serious' and 'dangerous escalation' by security services, prompted a swift investigation by the Shin Bet and the police. President Isaac Herzog condemned the act, urging for a thorough investigation to prevent further escalation. Opposition leaders, including Yair Lapid, have also voiced their condemnation of the attack, which comes at a time when Israel is said to be returning to a state of tension similar to that of October 6th.
