Israeli air strikes in and around Beirut have caused significant damage to the country’s largest public hospital and killed more than a dozen people, Lebanese health officials said.
Hezbollah later launched a barrage of rockets into central Israel, hours before US Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in the region.
The US State Department said that Mr Blinken would focus on ending the war in Gaza, securing the release of hostages held by Hamas and alleviating the suffering of Palestinian civilians. Mr Netanyahu’s office said the drone on Saturday targeted his house in the Mediterranean coastal town of Caesarea. Neither he nor his wife was there. It was not clear if the house was hit.
