Israel’s government said a drone targeted PM Benjamin Netanyahu’s house on Saturday, with no casualties, as fighting with Lebanon-based Hezbollah and Hamas showed no pause after the killing of the mastermind of last year’s deadly October 7 attack. Netanyahu said the attempt of Hezbollah to assassinate him was “a grave mistake”.

Israel’s military said dozens of projectiles were launched from Lebanon, as sirens wailed. Netanyahu’s office said the drone targeted his house in the Mediterranean coastal town of Caesarea, though neither he nor his wife were there. Hezbollah did not claim responsibility for the drone attack but said it carried out several rocket attacks on northern and central Israel. The barrage came as Israel is expected to respond to an Iranian attack earlier this month.

Israel in turn carried out at least three airstrikes on Beirut’s southern suburbs.

In Gaza, Israeli forces fired at hospitals in the battered north of the Palestinian enclave, with strikes killing more than 50 people.
