Two other drones from Lebanon shot down; residents reported hearing buzzing sound before large explosion, no warning sirens sounded; rockets fired at targets across northern Israel

A drone launched by the Hezbollah militia from Lebanon that reportedly crashed into a building in the Israeli coastal town of Caesarea was targeting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a government spokesman told dpa on Saturday.

The Israeli prime minister and his wife were not home at the time of the strike, his office said. The episode highlighted the challenge drones pose to Israel’s air defenses.
