Defence Minister Israel Katz described the incident as crossing "all red lines" in a post on X early on Sunday.

"It is not possible for the Prime Minister of Israel, who is threatened by Iran and its proxies who are trying to assassinate him, to be subject to the same threats from home," he stated, urging security and judicial authorities to take appropriate action.

President Isaac Herzog also condemned the attack on X, announcing that an investigation was underway.

"The incitement against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu crosses all boundaries. Throwing a flash bomb into his house tonight is crossing another red line," added Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir in his post.

This incident follows an earlier event in October when a drone was launched towards Netanyahu's Caesarea residence, causing no harm.

Meanwhile, Israeli forces have been engaged in exchanges of fire with Lebanon's Hezbollah group since October 2023.

No group has claimed responsibility for Saturday's attack.
