Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu’s house attacked with bombs, Defense Minister said – the enemy has crossed all limits!

Tel Aviv. Two flash bombs were fired towards the house of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the northern Israeli city of Caesarea, which fell in the garden. Police gave this information on Saturday. A statement said that neither Netanyahu nor his family were present in the house at that time and there is no news of any damage.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said in a post on X early Sunday that the incident has crossed ‘all red lines’. Katz has also asked security and judicial agencies to take necessary steps.

‘All limits have been crossed’
Israeli President Isaac Herzog condemned the incident in a post on X and said that an investigation is underway. Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said on X, ‘The provocation against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has crossed all limits. Firing a flash bomb at his house tonight is like crossing another red line.’

Drone attack happened in October
Earlier in October, a drone was launched towards Prime Minister Netanyahu’s house in Caesarea, which caused no damage. In response, the Israeli army has been fighting a war with Lebanon’s terrorist organization Hezbollah since October 2023. No one has yet claimed responsibility for Saturday’s incident.

Earlier in October, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Iran’s proxy Hezbollah had tried to assassinate him and his wife by launching a drone attack towards his house in the city of Caesarea. Although there were no casualties in the incident, the incident highlighted that even though Israel has a highly advanced air defense system, it is not safe from drones.

Why is Israel unable to stop drone attacks?
Israel has the world’s best system for detecting and intercepting missiles that can travel at speeds of over 1,000 miles per hour. But its radar systems find it more challenging to detect unmanned aircraft (including drones), which sometimes travel slower than 100 mph.

Drones are often made of less metal and generate less heat than high-speed rockets and projectiles, making them difficult to always detect. Enemy drones are sometimes mistaken for Israeli aircraft when seen in the air. Many small private planes operate in Israel and fly at low altitudes and speeds, just like drones.
