Two days after the IDF chanced upon Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar and eliminated him in a dramatic and heroic victory in Gaza, it is reported that drones hit Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s home in Caesarea. He and his wife Sara were not home and no one was injured.
Shortly after, Netanyahu released the following video to let his enemies know exactly where he and Israel stand.
Watch his full statement below:

Netanyahu masterfully did not even acknowledge the petty attack, highlighted the victory of the IDF and their noble cause, and sent a clear message: “So will something deter you?” — “No.”
The drones came from Lebanon and are a desperate attack as Israel is pummeling its enemies. In Netanyahu’s speech to the people of Lebanon, he told them, “We took out thousands of terrorists, including Nasrallah himself and Nasrallah’s replacement, and the replacement of the replacement.“
The IDF has made good on their promise to hunt down every terrorist responsible for October 7th. With the death of Sinwar, after the death of Ismail Haniyeh in Iran, and also the death of Mohammed Deif, the famed hero of the Gazans, as well as dozens of other senior and upper leadership of Hamas, and then the leaders of Hezbollah in Lebanon—it’s a wonder that this war still has a leg to stand on.
Netanyahu could not appear stronger and more invincible at this moment. It is also a moment of vindication after all the pressure that was put on Israel to lessen the severity of force against the enemy and delay victory by not going into Rafah. The tide of this war changed when Israel, and Netanyahu, stopped caring what America says or thinks.
The drone that hit the Prime Minister’s house was accompanied by two others that were shot down. The only one to make landfall is the one that hit the home. There are concerns that no warning sirens were sounded. Reports say the military is investigating the incident and potential failures of Israel’s warning system.
“We heard helicopters above us and there was a feeling that there was some sort of incident but there were no sirens so we were not too worried,” one Caesarea resident told Channel 12. “But then suddenly a large explosion was heard and it was not clear to us if it was from an interception or a drone impact — but it was clear that it was a real incident with no prior warning.”
“It was very worrying; luckily, there are no casualties,” he said.
Ofek Mor, another resident, told Ynet of hearing the drone overhead.
“Suddenly we heard a buzzing sound, it was not clear what was happening, then there was a huge explosion, very strong,” he said. “It is walking distance from my house, we got here and very quickly we understood what had happened.”
The attack comes after Hezbollah made a statement Friday that they were in “a transition to a new and escalatory phase in the confrontation with the Israeli enemy, which will be reflected in the developments and events of the coming days.”
Equally, even after the death of Hamas’s leader Sinwar and the harrowing footage of his last moments, Hamas still pledges to hold the hostages until the end and not give up. The problem with this enemy has always been the ideology. Death is a reward for them and they care not for the lives of anyone around them, or their own.
Israel understands the complexity of the tragic conditions of this conflict. Complete victory is the only answer. They are well on their way and the days of this war are numbered.
