Israel-Iran War: On Saturday, Hezbollah tried to target the residence of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Hezbollah used three drones for this attack, but the Israeli army foiled the attack with its readiness.Israeli official's allegation on IranA senior Israeli official has made serious allegations against Iran in this matter. Talking to Channel 12, he said that Iran is plotting to assassinate the Israeli Prime Minister. This statement is important in this context, as Iran has deep ties with Hezbollah, and this allegation can further increase the growing tension between Israel and Iran.Netanyahu's responseAfter the attack, Netanyahu released a video message in which he said, "No one can stop us," and made it clear that Israel is determined to win this conflict. He also informed that recently Israel has eliminated Yahya Sinwar, the mastermind of the October 7 attack. Netanyahu said, "We are fighting for survival, and we will continue to fight to the end." He also hinted at the ongoing conflict in Gaza and Lebanon and vowed to continue action against other Iranian proxy groups.Status of the attackIt is worth noting that Netanyahu and his wife were not present at home when Hezbollah carried out the drone attack. Two Hezbollah drones were shot down by the Israeli army from a helicopter, while one drone damaged a building. However, no one was reported injured in the attack. The Prime Minister's Office issued a statement in this regard.Iron Dome failure?The Israeli Defense Force (IDF) has investigated the incident as, according to reports, alarm sirens did not sound in the Siseria area before the drone attack. This raises the question of whether Israel's famous air defense system, the Iron Dome, was effective in this attack.Context of previous attemptsEarlier in August, Israeli media reported that Hezbollah drones had attempted to take photographs of Netanyahu's home. On August 19, a Hezbollah drone was seen near Netanyahu's Cesaria villa, believed to have been deployed to reconnoiter the Israeli prime minister's home.ConclusionThis latest incident has further escalated the growing tensions between Israel and Hezbollah. Israel's concern over relations with Iran is clear, and Netanyahu's determination indicates that he is willing to go to any lengths to ensure his security. This attack is not only significant from a political perspective, but is also a serious concern for the security balance in the region.
