Netanyahu’s home was hit, bedroom window damaged, in Saturday’s Hezbollah drone attack, military censor finally allows Israeli media to report

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.

Speaking on Saturday soon after the attack, Netanyahu said, “The agents of Iran who tried to assassinate me and my wife today made a bitter mistake.”

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