Israel Says Drone From Lebanon Flew Toward Netanyahu's Home

TEL AVIV—A drone from Lebanon was flown toward Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s private residence near Tel Aviv before exploding early Saturday, his office said, in an attack that comes a day after Hezbollah threatened to escalate its conflict with Israel.

The prime minister and his family weren’t present there at the time of the attack, according to his office, and no injuries or damage were immediately reported.

Three uncrewed aerial vehicles crossed into Israeli territory, the military said. Two of the drones were intercepted while the other bypassed Israeli aerial defense systems and reached the seaside town of Caesarea where it hit a structure, the military added. The drone didn’t set off warning sirens. A large explosion was heard, according to police.

This is the first time a drone has exploded in Caesarea, which is famous for ancient Roman archaeological monuments and for being the location of the private home of Netanyahu and his family.
