A drone from Lebanon struck Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Caesarea residence early Saturday. In response, Netanyahu, also known as Bibi, reaffirmed that nothing would prevent them from achieving victory in the ongoing war. He declared, “We are continuing our battle with Iran’s other terrorist proxies,” referencing the Israeli Defense Forces’ (IDF) recent elimination of Yahya Sinwar. “Two days ago, we took out Yahya Sinwar, the terrorist mastermind whose goons beheaded our men, raped our women, burnt babies alive. We took him out,” Netanyahu emphasized.
He further added, “We are going to win this war,” asserting his determination. When asked if anything could deter him, Netanyahu responded with a firm “no.”
This attack on Netanyahu‘s home followed Hezbollah’s vow to escalate tensions by deploying additional missiles and drones into Israel. In retaliation, Hezbollah launched rockets into northern Israel, including at a military base near Haifa. The group claimed a “large salvo” of advanced rockets struck a military facility east of Haifa and pledged to intensify its attacks amid the ongoing conflict that began on September 23.
Additionally, Hezbollah targeted the northern Israeli town of Safed with more rockets, coinciding with the Israeli army’s report of 115 projectiles fired at the country, mostly aimed at northern regions. The attacks triggered air raid sirens, adding to the growing tension in the region.
