A Navy missile ship stationed off the coast of Caesarea reported spotting a suspicious aircraft on Friday.
According to Ariel Kahana of Israel Hayom, the aircraft is believed to have been a reconnaissance drone sent by Hezbollah with the intention of capturing images of Prime Minister Netanyahu's beachfront residence. The terrorist organization may have planned to release a video featuring these images.
In response to the alert, fighter jets were dispatched to the area, but they were unable to locate the drone. The IDF has indicated that the incident might have been a false alarm. Nevertheless, the IDF and the Air Force have not entirely dismissed the possibility that the aircraft could have been a small drone launched from Lebanon.
