A drone launched from Lebanon crashed into a building in the Israeli city of Caesarea, where Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lives, the Israeli military announced on Saturday.

According to Israeli media reports, it is not known if Netanyahu was at the seaside resort located between Tel Aviv and Haifa at the time of the attack. No one was injured in the incident, the military said. Two unmanned aerial vehicles were intercepted.

There was also an air alert in Tel Aviv, 55 kilometers to the south, after the drone reportedly approached the Glilot district, home to the headquarters of Israel's Mossad intelligence service and another intelligence center. Sirens sounded in a number of other locations in northern Israel, including the city of Tiberias on the west coast of the Sea of ​​Galilee.

The Lebanese Shiite militia Hezbollah, which is allied with Hamas in the Gaza Strip, has fired rockets and drones at Israel almost daily since the war in Gaza began. Following news of the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar in Gaza, the Iran-backed militia announced a "new phase of escalation".
