Netanyahu issued a stern warning, stating that any attempt to harm Israeli citizens will be met with severe consequences.
This warning follows an incident involving three drones launched from Lebanon, with two intercepted by Israeli forces, though no injuries occurred as the Prime Minister and his wife were not present at the time.
No group, including Hezbollah, has claimed responsibility.
