A drone attack occurred at the residence of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Caesarea, confirmed by his office on Saturday.

According to a spokesperson, a drone originating from Lebanon struck the Prime Minister‍‍`s home, located north of Tel Aviv. 

The statement clarified that neither Netanyahu nor his wife were present during the incident, and fortunately, there were no reported casualties.

Earlier reports indicated that the Israeli military had acknowledged a drone attack targeting "infrastructure," though it was unclear if this referred specifically to Netanyahu‍‍`s residence.

The Israeli military reported that three drone attacks were launched from Lebanon today, with two successfully intercepted. 

In addition to the drone strikes, multiple missiles were fired from Lebanon into northern Israel, triggering alarm sirens in the affected areas.

In a separate development, Lebanese authorities reported that two individuals were killed in an Israeli military strike in Junieh, north of Beirut. 

This incident marks the first attack in the region since tensions escalated between Israel and the militant group Hezbollah last year.

Lebanon‍‍`s Health Ministry described the incident as an attack by "Israeli enemy forces" on a vehicle in Junieh. 

State media in Lebanon indicated that this attack occurred on a major highway connecting the northern region to the capital.

The ongoing conflict with Hezbollah has intensified over the past several days, with Israel having initiated a ground operation near the Lebanon border last month.

On Friday, the Israeli military claimed to have destroyed a Hezbollah regional command center in an airstrike. 

In response, Hezbollah stated that it had conducted several rocket attacks targeting Israeli cities, including Haifa and nearby areas. 

Later, the group announced a drone attack carrying explosives on an air defense base east of Hadera in central Israel.
