Netanyahu claimed the assassination attempt on himself

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Hezbollah carried out an assassination attempt on him and his wife on Saturday, October 19. The Israeli leader wrote this on the social network.

“The attempt by Iran’s Hezbollah proxy to kill me and my wife today is a serious mistake. This does not stop me or the State of Israel from continuing our just war against our enemies to secure our future,” he wrote.

Before that, it was reported that a drone launched by Hezbollah from Lebanon that exploded in the central coastal city of Caesarea on Saturday morning was targeted at Netanyahu’s private home. The Prime Minister and his wife were not at home, and no one was injured.

Before that, the IDF said “one house was hit” in the select town known for its luxury villas, Roman ruins and amphitheaters.

According to Axios, a drone hit the prime minister’s house.

“This is the first time since the beginning of the war that a target directly linked to Netanyahu has been hit,” the statement said.

The Israel Defense Forces said the drone was one of three launched from Lebanon and the other two were shot down.

The military said it was investigating the incident, which allegedly involved several failures in Israel’s warning system. There was no warning siren before the drone explosion in Caesarea.

The attack on Netanyahu’s home came a day after Hezbollah said it was entering a new phase in its fight against Israeli forces, adding that it had used new weapons in the past few days, including new types of precision-guided missiles and drones with explosive devices. .

Let’s remember that a week ago Hezbollah attacked Israel with a new drone. He destroyed the warning system and hit the military assembly area. About 67 people were injured in the attack and four others died.

The IDF blew up the Hezbollah tunnels with 100 tons of explosives
