Channel 13 publishes a leaked transcript from a recent security cabinet meeting during which ministers were discussing the Hezbollah drone strike over the weekend that managed to damage Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s private home in Caesarea.

Far-right ministers Itamar Ben Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich say the government should treat the incident as if Hezbollah had succeeded in killing an Israeli premier.

Transportation Minister Miri Regev chimes in, arguing that there is also what for the police to do regarding the matter.

“Yesterday the [anti-government] Kaplan protesters arrived [outside Netanyahu’s home] to finish what Hezbollah failed to do,” she is quoted as having said, claiming without proof that those protesting Netanyahu are trying to kill him.
