IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari warns that Hezbollah’s drone attack on the premier’s private residence earlier today will cause Israel to intensify fighting against the terror group.
“This morning, three drones infiltrated from Lebanon. Two were intercepted, and the third hit a building in Caesarea, in an attempt to target the prime minister,” Hagari says in a press conference.
He says the incident is under further investigation.
“We are fighting Hezbollah with determination. Because of this attempt, and the harm to Israeli civilians, the fighting will only intensity,” Hagari warns.
Hezbollah fired over 100 rockets at northern Israel today, killing an Israeli man and wounding nearly a dozen others.
