Hezbollah has reportedly targeted the residence of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with a drone attack, Israeli officials confirmed. The incident took place while the Prime Minister was not present at the location, avoiding any harm.
According to a statement by the Israeli military, the drones were launched from Lebanon, marking an escalation in hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah. Israel’s defense system intercepted and destroyed two additional drones that entered its airspace, demonstrating a swift response to the threat.
The attack comes amid U.S. President Joe Biden’s attempts to de-escalate tensions between Iran and Israel, emphasizing that the possibility of war could be averted. President Biden expressed hope for a ceasefire in Lebanon but noted that achieving a ceasefire in Gaza remains particularly challenging.
The rising tensions between Israel and Hezbollah have led to a series of skirmishes along the border, raising concerns of a wider conflict. Israeli military officials stated that they are prepared for any potential threat and assured that any act of aggression would be met with a decisive response.
