An explosive drone launched by Hezbollah from Lebanon hit Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's private home in the coastal town of Caesarea on Saturday

Why it matters: This is the first time since the beginning of the war that a target affiliated directly with Netanyahu has been hit.

Driving the news: Netanyahu's spokesperson confirmed his private residence was targeted on Saturday morning local time, adding: "The prime minister and his wife were not at the residence at the time of the attack and there were no casualties."

Three drones were launched from Lebanon and crossed into Israeli airspace.
Israeli officials say two were intercepted by Israeli attack helicopters but the third eluded them.

The latest: In a short video in English, Netanyahu said nothing will deter him from continuing Israel's fight against Iran and its proxies.
