After the death of Yahya Sinwar, Hamas-allied Hezbollah retaliated. The Lebanese militia used drones to target several large cities in Israel.
According to the Israeli military, a drone launched in Lebanon crashed into a building in the city of Caesarea, where Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s home is also located. “The prime minister and his wife were not at the scene and there were no injuries,” it said in a statement on Saturday.
The Israeli army had previously reported that “a structure” was hit by a drone fired from Lebanon in the Caesarea area. It was not immediately clear whether this was the same incident. According to the military, no people were injured. According to the information, two other drones were also intercepted.
There was also an air alert in the coastal metropolis of Tel Aviv, further south. There was a drone approaching the Glilot district, where the headquarters of the Israeli foreign secret service Mossad and another secret service headquarters are located. According to the army, the sirens also wailed in numerous places in northern Israel, such as the city of Tiberias on the western bank of the Sea of Galilee.
Hezbollah announces “new phase of escalation”.
The Lebanese Shiite militia Hezbollah, which is allied with Hamas in the Gaza Strip, has been firing rockets and drones at Israel almost daily since the Gaza war began in October last year. Following news of the death of Hamas leader Jihia al-Sinwar in the Gaza Strip on Thursday, the Iran-backed militia announced “a new phase of escalation.”
