<p>A drone was launched towards the residence of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the northern Israeli town of Caesarea on Saturday, said his spokesman. </p>
<p>The premier was not in the vicinity and there were no casualties, the spokesperson added, reported Reuters. </p>
<p>Earlier in the day, the Israeli military said that a drone was launched from Lebanon that had hit a building but it was not immediately clear what the building was. Two more drones crossed into Israeli territory that were intercepted, the military said. </p>
<p>According to the Israeli ambulance service, there were no casualties and police said explosions had been heard in Caesarea, a coastal town where Netanyahu has a holiday home.</p>
<p>The attack was not immediately claimed by the Iran-backed Hezbollah that has been fighting with Israel in Lebanon since last October. No other militant group too claimed responsibility for the attack. </p>
<p>The Prime Minister’s Office also confirmed that Netanyahu’s private residence was targeted in a drone attack from Lebanon, reported the Times of Israel. </p>
<p>Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife Sara were not home at the time of the attack and there were no injuries in the incident, said the PMO in a short statement. </p>
<p>Meanwhile, the Israeli military on Saturday said its air force has killed Hezbollah’s deputy commander in the Bint Jbeil area of southern Lebanon, reported BBC.</p>
<p>Naser Abed al-Aziz Rashid was involved in “terrorist activities against Israeli civilians,” said Israel Defense Forces (IDF) while there has been no comment from Hezbollah. </p>
<p>On Friday, Netanyahu addressed the people of Gaza after the confirmed killing of Hamas chief and mastermind of the October 7 attacks, Yahya Sinwar.</p>
<p>He said that the war could end immediately if Hamas surrenders its weapons and returns the hostages.</p>
<p>”Yahya Sinwar is dead. He was killed in Rafah by the brave soldiers of the Israeli defence forces,” said the Israeli PM in a video shared on X. </p>
<p>”While this is not the end of the war in Gaza, it’s the beginning of the end. To the people of Gaza, I have a simple message – this war can end tomorrow. It can end if Hamas lays down its arms and returns our hostages,” he added. </p>
<p>On Thursday, the Israeli military confirmed that Sinwar, along with two other militants, had been killed.</p>
