Tel Aviv, November 17 – Two flash bombs were launched toward Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's residence in the northern city of Caesarea, landing in the garden without causing any damage. According to a joint statement released by Israeli security agencies on Saturday evening, Netanyahu and his family were not present at the residence during the incident. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack so far.
Israel has condemned the incident as a "serious act of provocation" and warned the perpetrators of severe consequences. President Isaac Herzog denounced the attack, stating that an investigation is underway. Defense Minister Israel Katz, in a post on X, called for immediate action from security and judicial agencies to address the situation. Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir also expressed strong condemnation, stating on X that the attack on Netanyahu's residence marks a crossing of yet another red line.
This incident follows a similar attempt in October when a drone was launched toward Netanyahu's residence in Caesarea, which also caused no damage. At the time, Netanyahu attributed the attack to Iran-backed Hezbollah, accusing the group of attempting to assassinate him and his wife.
Israeli authorities are treating this latest incident as a grave escalation in threats against the Prime Minister and have intensified security measures around his residence. Investigations into both attacks are ongoing.
