Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said that a drone launched from Lebanon directly hit Netanyahu's residence in the Caesarea area and exploded inside it.

Netanyahu and his wife were not home at the time of the explosion, news reports said. The Hebrew website Walla reported that the drone that hit Netanyahu's home exploded despite Israeli military helicopters chasing it the entire time. News reports said the drone explosion caused a loud bang.

The Israeli occupation army said that it intercepted two drones launched today, Saturday, from Lebanon towards the north of the country, while a third exploded in a building in the city of Caesarea, south of Haifa.

In a statement published on its account on the X platform, the occupation army said: In the last hour, 3 drones crossed into the country coming from Lebanon, and two drones were intercepted.

The Israeli army added that the third march hit a house in Caesarea, without causing any injuries.

A video clip showed attempts to intercept the third drone and the sirens sounding after the failure to intercept it.

In Caesarea is the private home of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, where he usually spends his Saturdays.
