A drone was launched towards the home of Benjamin Netanyahu in Caesarea, the prime minister’s office said on Saturday.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said a drone had “hit a structure” in the central town, where Mr Netanyahu lives with his family.

“A UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) was launched toward the prime minister’s residence in Caesarea. The prime minister and his wife were not at the location, and there were no injuries in the incident,” Mr Netanyahu’s office said.

It was not immediately clear whether the structure reported hit by the military earlier was his private residence.

The military said three drones had been fired from Lebanon on Saturday and it had intercepted two.

A barrage of projectiles were fired from Lebanon into northern Israel on Saturday, with sirens blaring across northern Israel at regular intervals.

On Friday, the Israeli military said it had destroyed Hezbollah’s regional command centre with an air strike.
