Netanyahu’s House Bombed 2nd Time in a Month

CROSSFIREARABIA – It’s a second attack on the private residence of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in less than a month.

The Saturday night attack through two flash bombs landed in the courtyard of Netanyahu house in Caesarea is being described as a serious incident by Shabak and the Israeli police who quickly opened up an investigation.

The attack is widely trending on the social media with the official line being that Netanyahu and his wife were not in the house at the time and there was little damage.

The incident is being treated as “domestic” with three people arrested and under investigation with reactions  from the leader of the opposition Yair Lapid and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir. They all described the attack on Netanyahu’s residence as “redline” but it is difficult to see what they would do about it.

Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth said one of the arrested suspects is a senior reserve officer, a brigadier general, who has been active in protests against Netanyahu’s government over the past two years according to Anadolu.

The first attack on Netanyahu’s house in Caesarea was made on 19 October through a drone attack launched from Lebanon targeted Netanyahu’s home in Caesarea claimed by Hezbollah. The attack was described as so precise that it landed in Netanyahu’s bedroom.

This time news reports suggest that the flash bombs either landed in the garden and/or the courtyard of the house.

Adina Says Bibi’s Army Don’t Know Zilch About Gaza Tunnels

The Israeli media quoted Adina Moshe, a former Israeli captive held by Hamas in Gaza, as saying the Israeli internal security service (Shabak) asked her to draw a map of the tunnels in Gaza, “because they don’t know anything about them.”

Moshe, who was released in a previous exchange deal last November, told the Shabak investigator who visited her after her release that the tunnels in the Gaza Strip are “a huge, large labyrinth that extends underground throughout the Strip, and military pressure will not help bring back the prisoners.”

She said that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is lying, and that he and the army do not know anything about the tunnels of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) in the Gaza Strip.

During her speech at the protests demanding a prisoner exchange deal with Gaza, Moshe noted that the Shin Bet investigator asked her to explain what Hamas’s tunnels looked like, what their branches were and where they were located, which made it clear to her that the Israeli security services knew nothing about the tunnels.

Moshe told the investigator that the tunnels were “a huge, vast labyrinth that runs underground across the entire Strip. It’s not one tunnel, but a network of endless tunnels.”

When they asked her to draw the tunnels in Gaza, Moshe told the Shin Bet that she wasn’t a painter, which she considered further proof that they knew nothing about them.

The New York Times reported last week that the tunnels in Gaza were an underground nightmare for the Israeli army and the core of Hamas’s ability to survive.

According to the newspaper, Israeli intelligence officials estimate that there are about 160 kilometers of tunnels under Khan Yunis, the second largest city in southern Gaza according to JO24.
