Newly appointed Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz issued a response in a post on 'X' saying that the firing of 'light bombs' on PM's house is crossing 'all red lines.'  


"It is not possible for the Prime Minister of Israel, who is threatened by Iran and its proxies who are trying to assassinate him, to be subject to the same threats from home," Katz's post read. He urged security and judicial authorities to take appropriate action.


Israeli President Isaac Herzog condemned the incident, stating in a post on X that the Shin Bet is addressing the matter with the highest urgency.  


"I have now spoken with the head of the Shin Bet and expressed the urgent need to investigate and deal with those responsible for the incident as soon as possible. The head of the Shin Bet emphasized that this is a dangerous step up and noted that the investigation by the Shin Bet and the police is being carried out with the utmost severity," Herzog added.
