Israeli military alarmed by Hezbollah drone filming Netanyahu's home
A reconnaissance drone belonging to the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah has infiltrated the northern part of the occupied territories, filming the private villa of the Israeli regime's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.
According to the Israel Hayom daily newspaper, the Israeli regime’s defense systems issued a warning message on the presence of a drone near Netanyahu’s private residence in Caesarea, located 37 km south of Haifa on the Mediterranean coast, on Sunday.
The newspaper further speculated that the drone had been launched from Lebanon and had managed to take footage of Netanyahu's place of residence.
Israeli fighter jets were dispatched to the area but were unable to detect the exact location of the suspected drone, it added.
The Israeli military claimed that the warning may have been a false alarm, adding that the radar and defense systems sometimes issue such warnings due to an error. However, it did not completely rule out the possibility of a small drone launched by Hezbollah.
Back in June, Hezbollah published a 9-minute-31-second-long footage that included images of residential and military sites in and around the city of Haifa, including sea and airports, which was aimed at the Israeli audience.
The footage underlined the mounting difficulties that the Israeli military has encountered in dealing with the drone capabilities of Hezbollah.
The latest development comes amid fears of a full-fledged war between Israel and Hezbollah following the assassination of the resistance movement’s commander Fuad Shukr in Beirut on July 30.
It also comes at a time when Israelis are living in panic and fear as Iran has vowed to launch a retaliatory attack on the regime, following the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in the Iranian capital, Tehran.
Haniyeh, who was in Tehran to attend the swearing-in ceremony of Iran’s newly-elected President Masoud Pezeshkian, alongside other Axis of Resistance leaders, was martyred along with his bodyguard, in an attack early on July 31.
Ayatollah Khamenei has warned the Israeli regime of a “harsh response” for Haniyeh’s assassination, calling it the Islamic Republic’s duty to avenge the Palestinian resistance leader’s blood.
