A drone was launched at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's home in the town of Caesarea, a spokesman said, Reuters reported.

However, Mr Netanyahu was not in the area and there were no casualties.

Regarding the fighting on the ground, the Hezbollah group said it launched rockets at a military base near the city of Haifa, northern Israel, on October 19.

The group has threatened to step up attacks on Israel for weeks as a full-scale war breaks out on September 23.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said 55 rockets were fired in the attack, including 20 targeting the Haifa area.

Also on October 19, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said that Israel's attacks on Lebanon and Gaza forced Iran to take "legitimate actions".

Mr. Fidan's remarks implied support for Tehran's missile attack on Israel on October 1.

“Israel’s stance has forced Iran to take legitimate steps,” Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said at a joint press conference in Istanbul with his Iranian counterpart Abbas Araghchi.
