“Bitter mistake…”: Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu says Iranian agents tried to assassinate him

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sent a strong message on Saturday after a drone, launched from Lebanon, targeted his residence in Caesarea. Netanyahu vowed that those responsible would face serious consequences, saying: “IranThe agents who attempted to murder me and my wife today made a grave mistake. » His office confirmed that neither he nor his wife were at home during the incident and that there were no injuries.
This attack comes in a context of significant escalation in violence. Hezbollah, an Iranian-backed group, launched a barrage of rockets on Israel from Lebanon Saturday morning. Sirens echoed across Israel as the projectiles landed, with the port city of Acre recording one death, while five others were injured in Kiryat Ata. In retaliation, Israel launched airstrikes on Gazatargeting northern Jabalia, where 33 people were reported killed.
The situation in Gaza remains dire, with heavy fighting and ongoing Israeli airstrikes. Netanyahu stressed that the conflict is far from over and said: “While the assassination of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar is significant, it is not the end, but the beginning of the end. »
As tensions rise on several fronts, Iran’s involvement is becoming increasingly important. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi commented on the growing potential for regional war, saying that although Iran seeks to reduce tensions, “we are ready for any scenario.”
The Israeli army is now assessing the extent of the damage caused by the drone strike and other attacks, but Netanyahu’s warning to Iranian-backed forces suggests further escalation in an already unstable region.
