Netanyahu and his wife were not in the building, and there were no causalities.

The Israel Defense Forces said a drone crossing from Lebanon “hit a structure in the area of Caesarea,” while Israeli news outlet Ynet reported the sound of an explosion in the town.

The IDF added that two other drones were intercepted, and that the incident was under review.

The attack comes just days after Israel killed Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar during a military operation in the Gaza Strip.

Sinwar was the architect of of Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attacks, and his killing in battle was the culmination of a yearlong manhunt by the IDF.

Netanyahu said Sinwar’s death was the “beginning of the end” for Hamas, but that the war “is not yet over.”

Following the confirmation of Sinwar’s death, Hezbollah, the Iran-backed militant group and Hamas ally in Lebanon, vowed to escalate fighting against Israel.
