As tensions continue to escalate in the Middle East, Israel has intensified its attacks in Gaza Strip and Lebanon. The escalation in attacks and strikes in its neighbouring regions comes after an assassination attempt against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was foiled.
The Israeli military reported on Saturday that a drone from Lebanon struck the area of Caesarea and was targeting Netanyahu's residence. This drone attack on Netanyahu came days after Israel confirmed the killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar.

'Grave Mistake' - Netanyahu Reacts To Assassination Attempt
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reacted to the alleged assassination attempt on him and his wife and called it a "grave mistake".
"The attempt by Iran's proxy Hezbollah to assassinate me and my wife today was a grave mistake. This will not deter me or the State of Israel from continuing our just war against our enemies in order to secure our future," the Israeli PM wrote on X.
Netanyahu further warned Iran and its "axis of resistance" of paying a "heavy price for trying to harm Israel and its citizens".
"We will continue to eliminate the terrorists and those who dispatch them; We will bring our hostages home from Gaza; And we will return our citizens who live on our Northern border safely to their homes. Israel is determined to achieve all our war objectives and change the security reality in our region for generations to come," he said.
