Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accused the Iranian-backed armed group Hezbollah of attempting to kill him and his wife after his vacation home was targeted by a drone launched from Lebanon.
The Israeli leader has sent a strongly worded warning to Iran and its proxies following a drone attack on his home. On Saturday morning, three UAV’s loaded with explosives were spotted flying towards the coastal town of Caesarea in northern Israel.
Two drones were intercepted by the Israel Defense Force (IDF), while a third exploded near the prime minister’s private residence. Netanyahu and his wife were not at home during the attack, and there were no casualties in the area.
According to Al Jazeera.While Hezbollah did not claim responsibility for the strike in Caesarea, the pro-Palestinian group announced new attacks on north and central Israel on Saturday.
Israel is determined to achieve all our war objectives and change the security reality in our region for generations to come. Some 70,000 Israelis have been forced to flee their homes due to Hezbollah attacks since October 2023.
The IDF intensified airstrikes on Lebanon last month, killing several high-ranking Hezbollah official’s, including the group’s longtime leader, Hassan Nasrallah. Overall, more than 2,000 people have been killed during Israeli strikes in Lebanon.
On Friday, Hezbollah announced that its military confrontation with the Jewish State was entering a new and escalatory phase.
The group vowed to continue firing rockets and drones across the border in solidarity with Gaza, where Israel has been waging a war against Palestinians for over a year.
Israel has pinpointed a bunker allegedly containing hundreds of millions of dollars in Hezbollah gold and cash beneath a major hospital in the Lebanese capital, an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spokesperson, Daniel Hagari, has claimed.
Under international humanitarian law, objects that contribute economically or financially to the war effort of a party to a conflict cannot be declared a legitimate target and lawfully attacked on that basis alone, the UN body said.
Hezbollah and Israel have routinely exchanged fire since October of last year after the Lebanese movement announced solidarity with the Palestinians following the outbreak of the war in Gaza.
In response the top commander of Islamic State (ISIS) in Iraq has been killed, PM Mohammed Shia al-Sudani announced on Tuesday.
The announcement confirms a statement on the killing of Jassim Al-Mazrouei, also known as Abu Abdul Qader, issued by the US Central Command (CENTCOM) late last week.
The USA invaded Iraq in 2003 without UN sanction, claiming it possessed weapons of mass destruction – a claim later found to be false.
The US military shock and awe bombing campaign devastated Iraq and toppled Saddam Hussein’s government, leaving the country in chaos and creating fertile ground for extremist groups such as ISIS.
Following the spread of ISIS across parts of Syria and Iraq in 2014, US troops returned to the country. Coalition military operations wrapped up in 2021, leaving approximately 2,500 American troops in place.

Well, what’s good for the goose is good for the gander, Mr. Netanyahu! I do not wish you any harm, but IF you target those you want eliminated in their private homes, you better ready yourself for the same actions from them! What makes you so special that you THINK only you have that right? You will reap what you sow Sir.
Of course, more accurate than a heat seeking missile, the gold detecting jewish nose is far superior. Admin paper work is a nightmare for the jew’s IDF. Profit and loss columns, amortization, fluctuating property values, wear and tear, interest rates. For every 30 men in an IDF infantry platoon there is at least three accountants, four book keepers, an insurance assessor, a loan shark, a real estate broker and four stand-over men for enforcement.
Send their bodies back to Arlington for proper burial.
