The Prime Minister’s Office and the Shin Bet are reportedly in discussions to undertake security upgrades at Benjamin Netanyahu’s private Caesarea home after it was hit by a Hezbollah drone last weekend, in what Israel has called an assassination attempt.

According to Ynet, the price tag for such upgrades is expected to cost between NIS 3 to 8 million. Netanyahu and his wife, Sara, were not in Caesarea during the attack and there were no reports of injuries.

Days after the attack, the IDF cleared for publication the fact that the blast cracked glass in a bedroom window, but did not penetrate the home, apparently because of reinforced glass and other protections.
