Two flares were launched near Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's house in Caesarea before falling in its courtyard, Israeli police reported. 

The incident was coined a dangerous and gradual escalation, prompting a joint investigation to be launched by the Israeli Shin Bet and police.

Reactions to the incident poured in soon after, with Israeli President Isaac Hertzog describing it as an "extremely dangerous incident." 

Meanwhile, opposition leader Yair Lapid strongly denounced the incident, demanding immediate action to be taken to capture the culprits and present them to justice. MK Benny Gantz echoed Lapid's condemnations, saying the incident was "a very dangerous thing." 

Yisrael Beytenu party leader Avigdor Lieberman also parroted the officials' remarks, calling it a dangerous incident. 

Walla's military correspondent, Amir Buhbut, denounced the incident as another security failure and a failure in his protection. 

Netanyahu demands protection following home attacks

Netanyahu's family previously requested comprehensive renovation and protection work at all of their residences, without setting any budget limitations.

According to Ynet, such renovations, for the Caesarea residence alone, are likely to cost between 3 and 8 million New Israeli Shekels, (790,000- 2.11 million USD).

This came after a drone attack launched by Hezbollah made direct impact on Netanyahu's place of residence in Caesarea, southern Haifa, when he and his wife were not present. The drone reportedly precisely struck his bedroom window, causing the window to shatter.  

Details revealed that the drone was able to directly hit its target, causing casualties post-detonation. Israeli occupation forces admitted that air defenses were unable to intercept the drone as it pierced through occupied territories.
