Two flash bombs were fired towards Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s home in the northern town of Caesarea on Saturday, an incident that the Defense Minister said had “crossed all red lines.”
Netanyahu and his family were not present and no damage was reported after the flash bomb fell into the garden of Netanyahu’s home, the police added in a statement.
Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said the incident crossed “all red lines” in a post on X early on Sunday.
