Israeli Occupation media has revealed details of the initial investigations into the attempted assassination of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with Tel Aviv vowing a decisive response.

According to Hebrew public broadcaster Kan, the preliminary investigation indicated that the pilot of the helicopter, which was transporting Netanyahu, was unable to identify the drone that targeted the prime minister’s residence.

Meanwhile, Maariv reported that a neighbor near Netanyahu's home had heard the drone but assumed it was an 'Israeli' aircraft, and no alarms were triggered.

Jerusalem Post cited a diplomatic source confirming that Tel Aviv plans to respond to the assassination attempt, holding Iran ultimately responsible for the incident. The Israeli Occupation military spokesperson stated that the drone, launched from Lebanon, targeted a building in Caesarea with the intent of harming Netanyahu, and a thorough investigation into the attack is underway.

Netanyahu himself addressed the assassination attempt, stating that Iranian agents who tried to kill him and his wife had made a "grave mistake." He claimed that this attempt would not deter him or Tel Aviv from continuing their military campaign in Gaza and Lebanon.

He further warned Iran, saying, "Anyone who harms Israeli citizens will pay a heavy price." Netanyahu reiterated that 'Israel' would continue its operations to eliminate "terrorists" and make efforts to bring back captives from Gaza, as well as ensure the return of residents to northern Israeli Occupation.

'Israeli' officials close to Netanyahu reportedly believe that the response to Iran should be harsher following the assassination attempt. 'Israeli' security sources have also confirmed that the attack was indeed an assassination attempt.

Residents near Netanyahu’s home in Caesarea expressed their shock, with one neighbor stating, "I can't imagine what would have happened if the drone had veered slightly and hit us."

Netanyahu concluded his remarks by stating that the war would continue until all of Israeli Occupation's objectives were achieved, aiming to change the security landscape of the region for future generations.
