Here’s what The New York Post shared:
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed “nothing will deter us, we will keep going until victory,” after a drone struck his vacation home in northern Israel Saturday as the military continued its operations in Lebanon and Gaza.
ADVERTISEMENTNetanyahu, 74, was not in the area when the drone was fired from Lebanon at his residence in Caesarea, his spokesperson said.
The drone strike on the prime minister’s residence comes just days after Israel killed Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar.
The drone hit an undisclosed building, officials explained. There were no casualties.

Per The Hill:
A recent drone strike targeting the home of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is sending “a signal” that Iran-backed militant groups are not “incapacitated,” despite losing senior leadership in recent weeks, according to a Middle East expert.
Daniel Levy, the president of the U.S./Middle East Project, in an interview with NewsNation Saturay, said he did not think the intention “necessarily was an extrajudicial killing of Netanyahu,” but the drone launch was a warning that Iran’s proxies — including Hamas and Hezbollah — are still formidable.
“It sends an important signal, doesn’t it,” Levy told “Morning in America” host Hena Doba on Saturday morning.
“It sends a signal that any talk that Hezbollah, as this came from Lebanon, has been incapacitated, they are done for. That’s clearly, not only premature, but basically a misreading of that reality,” he added. “I think any talk that Hamas are finished is equally misguided. It doesn’t understand what is the nature of a resistance movement rooted in the objective conditions of a people living without freedom.”
