Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu\u2019s residence in Caesarea came under attack again, as two signal flares were fired into the garden late on November 16, 2024. Authorities confirmed that Netanyahu and his family were not at home during the incident, and no damages were reported.<\/p>\n
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz described the attack as crossing \u201call red lines.\u201d He stated, \u201cIt is unacceptable that a prime minister, already threatened by Iran and its proxies, faces similar threats from within his own country.\u201d Katz called on security and judicial authorities to take decisive action.<\/p>\n
President Isaac Herzog also condemned the incident, emphasizing the need to protect democratic institutions. Meanwhile, National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir remarked, \u201cThe incitement against Prime Minister Netanyahu has reached dangerous levels. Firing signal flares at his home is a blatant crossing of all red lines.\u201d<\/p>\n
This latest attack follows a similar incident in October 2024, when Netanyahu\u2019s Caesarea residence was targeted by a drone. Israeli media reported that the drone struck a reinforced bedroom window but failed to penetrate it. Netanyahu and his wife were not home during that attack either.<\/p>\n
Following the repeated attacks, Israeli authorities have announced plans to review and enhance security measures around Netanyahu\u2019s residence. Enhanced surveillance and stricter access controls are expected to be implemented.<\/p>\n
The attack on Netanyahu\u2019s residence reflects growing tensions within Israel. Analysts warn that such incidents could deepen societal divisions and exacerbate political polarization.<\/p>\n
The Israeli police have launched an investigation to identify the perpetrators and their motives. As of now, no group or individual has claimed responsibility for the attack.<\/p>\n
