Hezbollah launched a new drone attack in Israel early this morning.

Sirens sounded in Tel Aviv and Haifa as a drone penetrated Israeli air defenses and crashed into a ‘structure’ in the area Caesarea (Caesaria), between Tel Aviv and Haifa.

As reported by The Times of Israel, warning sirens were not activated in Caesarea, where Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu he has a house

“A drone was launched today against the residence of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the northern Israeli city of Caesarea,” his spokesman said, adding that the prime minister and his wife were not at home and there were no casualties.

Earlier, the IDF had announced that “an unmanned aerial vehicle hit a structure in the district of Caesarea”, without giving further details and clarifying however that there were no injuries.

It is unclear if the residence is the “structure” that the armed forces had earlier referred to.

The video captures the time of the attack outside Haifa, while an AH-64E Apache attack helicopter tries to chase down a drone.

Two other drones were intercepted by Israeli air defenses, the military added.

Khamenei: Hamas “is and will remain alive”

At the same time, the supreme leader of Iran, Ali Khamenei declared that “the death of Yahya Sinwar will not stop the “Axis of Resistance”” and that “Hamas will continue to exist”.

Yesterday Hezbollah expressed its condolences to the Palestinian Hamas for the death of its leader, Yahya Sinwar, stressing that it “stands with the Palestinian people”.

“His loss is certainly painful for the resistance front” in Israel, “but (the resistance front) is not going to stop with the martyrdom of Sinwar,” Ayatollah Khamenei assured in a statement.

Yahya Sinwar “was a brilliant figure of resistance and struggle” against Israel, Khamenei stressed.

“He stood with unwavering determination against the inhuman and aggressive enemy and slapped him with courage,” he added.

Yahya Sinwar, who was long in the shadows before becoming head of Hamas in the summer, is seen as the architect of the Islamist Palestinian movement’s unprecedented attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, which has since plunged the region into a bloody conflict.

On the eve of Sinwar’s appointment as head of Hamas in August, Iran’s supreme leader released a video of a rare meeting with him in 2011 on his website.

Yahya Sinwar was then a member of the delegation of the Islamist Palestinian movement, headed by Ismail Haniya, the former leader of the formation who was killed in late July in Tehran by a strike attributed to Israel. Sinuar then succeeded Haniya.
