The recent drone attack by Hezbollah targeting the private home of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the central seaside town of Caesarea has escalated tensions in the region. Despite criticism of Israeli military forces for failing to deter such attacks, Netanyahu remains resolute, vowing not to be deterred from continuing the war.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry and its Permanent Mission to the United Nations have dismissed the Israeli PM’s allegations, with the Foreign Ministry Spokesman accusing the Zionist regime of spreading lies and distorting facts. The Iranian Mission reiterated Iran’s missile operation on Israel in response to the assassination of Hamas Leader Ismail Haniyeh, indicating that Hezbollah was responsible for the recent attack on Netanyahu’s house.
The incident has raised questions about Israeli missile defense failures, with reports suggesting that warning systems did not alert residents in Caesarea before the drone explosion. In addition to the drone attack, Hezbollah also fired rockets at northern Israel, marking a new phase in their anti-Israel operations.
