A resident near Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Caesarea residence described the tense atmosphere during a separate incident involving a drone strike. “We heard helicopters overhead and sensed something was happening, but with no alarms, we weren’t afraid,” the witness said. “Then, suddenly, a loud explosion occurred nearby, and it became clear that a real event was unfolding, without prior warning. It was stressful and disturbing, but thankfully, there were no casualties.”
The attack involved three drones launched from Lebanon, one of which managed to evade interception and strike a building near Netanyahu’s home. Neither the Prime Minister nor his wife were present at the time.
