Amid heightened tensions between Israel, Hezbollah, and Hamas, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's residence in Caesarea was targeted by a drone, according to the Israeli government. Fortunately, neither Netanyahu nor his wife were present during the attack, which resulted in no casualties.

The conflict is intensifying with projectiles being launched from Lebanon and Israel responding with airstrikes. Hezbollah claimed responsibility for several rocket attacks in northern and central Israel, although not for the recent drone incident. Israeli airstrikes continue to hit Beirut's southern suburbs and Gaza.

The violence has led to significant displacement, with over a million displaced in Lebanon. In Gaza, the fighting has devastated infrastructure and inflicted heavy casualties, keeping the region in a state of turmoil with little hope for an immediate ceasefire.
