A drone launched from Lebanon crashed into a building in the Israeli city of Caesarea, where Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lives, the Israeli military said on Saturday.
According to Israeli media reports, it was initially unknown whether Netanyahu was in the coastal city between Tel Aviv and Haifa at the time of the attack.
No one was injured in the incident, the military said. Two other unmanned flying objects were intercepted.
There was also an air raid siren in Tel Aviv, 55 kilometers to the south, when a drone reportedly approached the Glilot district, where the headquarters of Israel’s foreign intelligence service Mossad and another intelligence center are located.
According to the military, sirens sounded in numerous other locations in northern Israel, including the city of Tiberias on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee.
The Lebanese Shiite militia Hezbollah, which is an ally of Hamas in the Gaza Strip, has been firing rockets and drones into Israel almost every day since the start of the Gaza war in October last year.
Following news of the death of Hamas leader Yehya al-Sinwar in Gaza, the Iran-backed militia announced a “new phase of escalation.”
