Hezbollah targeted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's home in Caesarea early Saturday morning with three explosive drones, two of which were destroyed en route while the third hit the house.

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.

Israel’s military said dozens of projectiles were launched from Lebanon a day after Hezbollah announced a new phase in fighting.
