EKO HOT BLOG reports that alongside the strike on Netanyahu’s residence, Israeli air defenses intercepted two other drones launched from Lebanon, triggering warning sirens in the Tel Aviv area.
The third drone successfully struck a building in Caesarea, causing a loud explosion and reported damage, though details on the extent of the destruction remain unclear.
Israeli media reported that the drone traveled approximately 70 kilometers from Lebanon before hitting the targeted building. Al-Hadath, a Saudi news outlet, confirmed damage to part of the structure involved in the drone attack.
This incident follows the recent killing of Yahya Sinwar, a key Hamas figure and architect of the October 7, 2023, attack on Israel, which escalated the ongoing Gaza conflict.
