After a Hezbollah drone targeted his Caesarea home, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says that “the agents of Iran who tried to assassinate me and my wife today made a bitter mistake.”

He says in a statement that the attack will not deter him from continuing the war and that anyone who harms Israelis will pay “a heavy price.”

“We will continue to eliminate your terrorists, we will return our hostages from Gaza, we will return our residents in the north,” he promises.
