The Israeli military confirmed earlier that
the drone had been launched from Lebanon, and the prime minister’s spokesperson
said that the attack had targeted Netanyahu’s home. Neither he nor his wife
were at home at the time and nobody else was injured, according to his office.
Netanyahu said the “agents of Iran” meaning
Hezbollah were behind the attack and would “pay a heavy price.”
As at press time, Hezbollah has not
claimed responsibility.
“This will not deter me and the state of
Israel from continuing the war of revival against our enemies to ensure our
security for generations,” he said.
He said that after the killing of
Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, Israeli forces will “continue forward until the
end.”
“We eliminated the master murderer Yahya
Sinwar,” he said.
“I said we are in the war of resurrection
and we continue forward until the end.”
Netanyahu said he was proud of
Israel’s soldiers and all its citizens.
After being asked if anything would deter
him, he replied: “No, nothing will deter us. We continue until victory.”
On Friday, White House national
security communications adviser John Kirby suggested that Sinwar was the chief
obstacle to securing a ceasefire in the Gaza conflict - and his killing had
created an “inflection point” that could accelerate talks to wind down the war.
