On 19 October 2024, a drone strike took place on the private residence of Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the town of Caesarea, Israel. The attack was referred to as an assassination attempt by several news outlets and by Netanyahu himself and was suspected to have been launched from Lebanon. The incident did not result in any injuries, and Netanyahu was not at his home during the attack. This targeting came in the context of ongoing escalation between Israel and the Axis of Resistance, including Hezbollah, in light of the ongoing Israeli–Lebanese conflict.[2][3][4]
