Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's residence in Caesarea was targeted by a drone launched from Lebanon, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah. Initial investigations by the Israeli army identified the drone as a 'Sayyad 107', known for its difficulty in detection and interception due to its flight capabilities. The drone attack occurred while Netanyahu and his family were not present in the residence, and fortunately, there were no reported injuries from the incident. This drone was also linked to a previous attack on a Golani Brigade training base, which resulted in the deaths of four Israeli soldiers and injuries to many others. The ongoing conflict has seen increased hostilities, with Hezbollah launching rockets and drones in support of Hamas, following the unprecedented attacks from Gaza on October 7, 2023. In response, Israel has intensified its military operations in southern Lebanon, including air strikes and ground invasions, contributing to a rising death toll on both sides.
