Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called a drone strike on his northern Israel home an assassination attempt by Iran’s proxy Hezbollah, saying it was a “grave mistake” and vowing that the perpetrators would pay a “heavy price.”

The drone targeted Netanyahu’s residence in the coastal town of Caesarea on Oct. 19, while the premier and his wife were away, according to his spokesman. The attack, for which no group claimed immediate responsibility, resulted in no casualties.
