Two flares were fired near the Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's residence in Caesarea and landed in the yard; neither the Prime Minister nor his family were present at the time of the incident.
A subsequent examination by the security forces on the ground found remnants of weapons items from the flares. As a result, a joint investigation was opened by the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) and the Israel Police.
A joint statement issued by the Shin Bet and the Israel Police said that "this is a serious incident that constitutes a dangerous escalation, and accordingly, the necessary investigative actions will be taken."
