Israel will undoubtedly deliver a tough response to Hizballah’s attempt to kill Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife in the midst of a war that Iran and its proxies started on October 7, 2023.
Netanyahu responded on X to the attempt on his life and that of his wife:
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:…
— Benjamin Netanyahu – בנימין נתניהו (@netanyahu) October 19, 2024
The prime minister’s statement on X was also released in a statement by the Israel Government Press Office.
Israel has already vowed response to Iran’s barrage of missile fire at the start of October. It is now more urgent than ever for Israel to confront the head of the snake, Iran, particularly before the American elections. Should Harris win, she will strip support from Israel and continue to enable Iran, as Biden has done. The Palestinian “resistance” has always been about obliterating the Jewish state.
“Netanyahu, after drone attack on his home: ‘The agents of Iran who tried to assassinate me and my wife made bitter mistake,’” by Lazar Berman, Times of Israel, October 19, 2024:
After a Hezbollah drone targeted his Caesarea home, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says that “the agents of Iran who tried to assassinate me and my wife today made a bitter mistake.”
He says in a statement that the attack will not deter him from continuing the war and that anyone who harms Israelis will pay “a heavy price.”
“We will continue to eliminate your terrorists, we will return our hostages from Gaza, we will return our residents in the north,”….

I watched a video early this morning showing the drone which the Apache missed. Two others were shot down before they could cause any damage.
Sirens sounded and upset some citizens, but no one was injured.
The drones were said to be ‘revenge’ for a drone filming the scummy sinwar (he threw a stick at it before croaking).
Rather than scare Mr. Netanyahu from further pursuit of the terrorists, it has made him all the more determined.

He’s had this determination all his life, and motivation:
His brother was killed during the Entebbe raid, rescuing hostages from “Palestinians”.
He knows the price of appeasement.
James Lincoln says
Reziac,
If you haven’t seen it, there’s a good movie that chronicles the raid:
“Raid on Entebbe” (1976).
Ray Jarman says
Compare this action where the drone was downed to the incident that occurred at Lackland Airforce Base. The Airforce said that shooting down a drone that flew over the base was impossible while in Israel, a drone, probably more sophisticated, was shot down in Israel. It appears that the American military has had their hands tied behind them in order to speed along a capitulation to the CCP. The incident reminds me of the balloons flying over American military installations earlier and Biden and Austin sipping a cup of coffee.

Agreed, Ray.

Make those that tried to kill Netanyahu Dust in the Wind, it will be a warning and just deserve.

Like I mentioned in the thread on Israel’s guarantees to the US, Israel should use this attack as a pretext to completely destroy Kharg island, which handles 90% of Iran’s oil. Let’s see how Iran then raises its money: even the Russians are hesitant to pay for drones that are often ineffective
Reziac says
I’m thinkin’ one could do astonishing damage with a oil tanker rigged to blow.

Go Israel!
tgusa says
Mr. Netanyahu should feel proud because historically the enemies of civilization only try to kill the good guys.
