Israeli security services and army are on high alert, Saturday morning, watching for incoming missiles and drones from southern Lebanon.
One drone apparently exploded in a building near the private residence of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Ceasarea, southern Haifa.
The Israeli army admitted the attack took place but didn’t go into detail. The drone was part of three, two were intercepted but the third travelled to its target it was reported.
The Israeli media is presently covering this unprecedented drone attack thought to be targeting the private residence of the Israeli prime minister. His office wouldn’t confirm if he was in the building at the time or not and keeping everyone guessing.
Despite the coverage of the potentially-deadly event, locally and internationally with news websites and the social media reporting, there is a complete media blackout and censorship by Israeli official sources.
The Israeli army is baffled by the fact that the drones travelled 70 kilometers from Lebanon into Israeli airspace, that is supposedly carefully monitored, and honed in at the building in Ceasarea.
The north of Israel has become a battleground of missiles and rockets fired from Hezbollah after Tel Aviv began bombing southern Lebanon and Beirut’s southern district after 23 September.
