A Hezbollah drone launched from Lebanon at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s home in Caesarea on Saturday caused damage to his residence, the military censor now permits for publication.
An image, previously barred from publication by the military censor, shows the damage caused to the home by the drone impact.
The blast cracked glass in a bedroom window but did not penetrate the home, apparently because of reinforced glass and other protections. Pieces of glass reportedly landed in the family’s pool nearby and in the yard.
There were no injuries, and Netanyahu and his wife were not home at the time.

He said the attack would not deter him from continuing the war and that anyone who harmed Israelis would pay “a heavy price.”
