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.
