Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli Prime Minister escapes an assassination attempt allegedly from a drone by Hezbollah forces.
Netanyahu, has however vowed to continue the war in Gaza , saying the failed assassination attempt on his life and that of his wife will never deterred him and the Israeli Defence Force ( IDF) from eliminating all terrorists from the region.
Hear him:
“The attempt by Iran’s proxy Hezbollah to assassinate me and my wife today was a grave mistake.
“This will not deter me or the State of Israel from continuing our just war against our enemies in order to secure our future.
“I say to Iran and its proxies in its axis of evil: Anyone who tries to harm Israel’s citizens will pay a heavy price.
“We will continue to eliminate the terrorists and those who dispatch them. We will bring our hostages home from Gaza.
“And we will return our citizens who live on our Northern border safely to their homes.
“Israel is determined to achieve all our war objectives and change the security reality in our region for generations to come.
“Together, we will fight,
and with God’s help –
together, we will win.”
The Hezbollah drone that managed to target Netanyahu’s private residence in Caesarea today was a Sayyad 107.
“It’s the same type of drone that recently hit an IDF military base in Binyamina, killing 4 soldiers,” a source said.
Sayyad 107 is an Iranian model that is now manufactured by Hezbollah in Lebanon. It has a range of 100km and can be programmed to change direction and altitude frequently, making it hard to track.
