Drone hits Netanyahu’s home as Hezbollah rockets target northern Israel
Al Jazeera
Sirens activated across northern Israel as ‘large volley of rockets’ is fired towards several areas, including Haifa.
A drone has hit Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu‘s holiday home in the country’s north, Al Jazeera has confirmed, triggering air raid sirens across Israel, including the main city of Tel Aviv.
Netanyahu’s spokesman said one of three drones launched from Lebanon hit Netanyahu’s residence in the town of Caesarea on Saturday, adding that he was not in the vicinity and there were no casualties.
The two other drones were intercepted, the Israeli military said, adding that a total of more than 100 rockets were fired across northern Israel from Lebanon, injuring at least 13 people.
Iran-aligned Hezbollah has been trading fire with Israel since last October last year.
Al Jazeera’s Nour Odeh, reporting from Amman, Jordan because Al Jazeera has been banned in Israel, said the Israeli authorities are treating the attack on Netanyahu’s house as an “assassination attempt”.
