Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's residence in Caesarea was targeted by three drones on Saturday, October 20th, in an attack claimed by Hezbollah. One drone exploded precisely at Netanyahu's bedroom window, causing significant damage to the property, including the garden and interior, although the Prime Minister and his wife were not present at the time. Hezbollah's Media Relations Officer, Mohammad Afif, announced that the group takes "full and sole responsibility" for the attack. Netanyahu released a video condemning the incident as an assassination attempt orchestrated by Iran's proxy, vowing that the perpetrators would pay a "heavy price." Israeli security services, including the Shin Bet, have confirmed the incident and released images of the damage. This marks a significant escalation in tensions between Israel and Hezbollah.
