Walla: Netanyahu flees residence to shelter as sirens blare in Caesarea

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has fled his residence in Caesarea after air raid sirens sounded, prompting him to immediately seek shelter, according to a report by Israel’s Walla news website.

This occurred when the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon, Hezbollah, expanded its circle of fire in northern occupied Palestine and continued its qualitative operations against the Israeli occupation.

It is confronting Israeli attempts to penetrate the south of the country in support of Gaza and its resistance, in defence of Lebanon and its people and in response to the barbaric Israeli attacks on cities, villages and civilians.

Since the early morning hours, sirens have sounded in Margaliot, Misgav Am, Hanita, Haifa, Krayot, Acre, Nahariyya, the Beit She’an Valley, Gesher and Menahemia, along with the launch of rocket salvo from Lebanon, in what Israeli media described as: “Madness in the skies of Haifa and Krayot.”

Israeli media also reported that Netanyahu and several ministers hid during the Iranian attack on Israel in a fortified underground location in the city of Jerusalem, while Defence Minister Yoav Gallant barricaded himself in a subterranean building belonging to the ministry in Tel Aviv.
