Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reacted to the drone attack at his residence by the terror group Hezbollah on Saturday. According to videos posted on social media Benjamin Netanyahu can be seen stating that “nothing will deter” him after the drone attack and when asked about the current situation, he said that Israel is “going to win this war.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared Sinwar's killing a milestone but that the war is not yet over, saying fighting would continue until the hostages are released. In the video Netanyahu also said, "Well, two days ago we took out Yahya Sinwar, the terrorist mastermind whose goons beheaded our men, raped our women, burnt babies alive."

Earlier a drone was launched toward Benjamin Netanyahu's residence in Caesarea on Saturday after the military reported a drone from Lebanon had "hit a structure" in the central Israeli town.

A drone was launched towards Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's home in the northern Israeli town of Caesarea on Saturday, his spokesman said, adding that the premier was not in the vicinity and there were no casualties.

"A UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) was launched toward the prime minister's residence in Caesarea. The prime minister and his wife were not at the location, and there were no injuries in the incident," Netanyahu's office said in a statement.

The military said three drones had been fired from Lebanon on Saturday and it had intercepted two. Israel is fighting a war against Hamas ally Hezbollah in Lebanon, with Israel sending ground troops across the Lebanese border last month.

On Friday, the Israeli military said it had destroyed Hezbollah's regional command centre with an air strike.

Hezbollah said it fired a salvo of rockets at the Israeli city of Haifa and areas to its north. The group later said it launched "a swarm of explosives-laden drones" at an "air missile defence base" east of the central Israeli city of Hadera.

After an intensive manhunt that had lasted for more than a year, the Israeli troops that killed Sinwar were initially unaware that they had caught their country's number one enemy after a gun battle on Wednesday, Israeli officials said.
