A drone targeted Benjamin Netanyahu’s residence in Caesarea, but neither he nor his wife were present at the time, AP quoted Israel PM's spokesperson.

Sirens blared across Israel on Saturday morning as incoming fire from Lebanon triggered alarms, the Israeli government confirmed. No casualties were reported in the incident, as security forces responded swiftly to the threat.  

The attack comes as Iran’s supreme leader has vowed that Hamas would continue its fight against Israel following the killing of the Yahya Sinwar. Meanwhile, in Gaza, at least 21 people were killed in several Israeli strikes, including children, according to hospital officials and an AP reporter.

Sinwar, the key conspirator behind Hamas' October 7, 2023, attack on Israel was killed recemtly in an IDF's ground operation on Wednesday after a year-long manhunt, with his death officially confirmed on Thursday.

In September, Yemen’s Houthi rebels fired a ballistic missile at Ben Gurion Airport as Netanyahu's plane was landing, though it was successfully intercepted.
