Hours after Hezbollah targeted Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyhau’s residence, Bibi said that the fight against Iran's terrorist proxies continues, highlighting the IDF's recent assassination of Yahya Sinwar, a leader responsible for horrific atrocities committed by his followers.
"We are still fighting against Iran's other terrorist proxies," he stated, mentioning the IDF's assassination of Yahya Sinwar. "Just two days ago, we eliminated Yahya Sinwar, the terrorist leader whose followers committed atrocities such as beheading our men, raping our women, and burning babies alive."

Earlier today, a drone was fired at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's home in the town of Caesarea.
A spokesperson for Netanyahu stated that he was not present at his residence during the attack and that there were no casualties. "A UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) was fired at the prime minister's home in Caesarea. Both the prime minister and his wife were not there, and no one was injured in the incident," the prime minister's office announced in a statement.
Iran Allegedly Tried To Assassinate Netanyahu
Earlier, the Israeli military stated that the drone was fired from Lebanon and struck a building. Additionally, two other drones that entered Israeli airspace were intercepted, according to reports from Reuters. Subsequently, Israeli Channel 12 reported that a senior Israeli government official claimed Iran attempted to assassinate Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
These remarks come after an incident on Saturday when a drone was allegedly launched from Lebanon towards Netanyahu's home in the northern town of Caesarea.
Earlier on Friday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Iran-backed proxy militias in the Middle East, claiming that the 'axis of terror' created by Iran was crumbling. He pointed to the assassinations of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar and Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah as evidence of this decline.
