Spokesman: Drone fired at Netanyahu's residence in northern Israel

A drone was launched toward Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's residence in Caesarea, northern Israel, on October 19, according to his spokesman. 

Fortunately, Netanyahu was not present at the time, and there were no reported casualties, Caliber.Az reports via foreign media.

Earlier, the Israeli military indicated that a drone had been fired from Lebanon and had struck a building, although the identity of the building remains unclear. Additionally, two other drones that entered Israeli airspace were intercepted.

In related developments, Lebanese authorities reported that two individuals were killed in an Israeli strike in Jounieh, north of Beirut. This marked the first strike in the area since hostilities began between Hezbollah and Israel last year. The Lebanese health ministry described the incident as an "Israeli enemy raid," which targeted a car on a major highway connecting the capital to northern Lebanon.

Israel is currently engaged in conflict with Hezbollah, a group allied with Hamas, having deployed ground troops across the Lebanese border last month. Recently, the Israeli military claimed to have destroyed a Hezbollah regional command centre in an airstrike.

In response, Hezbollah announced it had launched a barrage of rockets at the Israeli city of Haifa and surrounding areas. The group later confirmed it had sent a "swarm of explosives-laden drones" toward an air defence base near Hadera, east of central Israel.
