Saturday's Hezbollah drone attack targeting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's private residence in Caesarea scored a direct hit on the premier's home, the military censor cleared for publication on Tuesday.

Following the attempted assassination, security measures for ministers and other officials have been "significantly" reinforced.

"Iran tried to eliminate the prime minister of Israel—it will not escape responsibility," a senior Israeli government official told Ynet.

According to reports, the assault included three drones, one of which scored a direct hit on a bedroom window at the Caesarea residence. Netanyahu and his wife, Sara, were not home at the time.

"The attempt by Iran's proxy Hezbollah to assassinate me and my wife today was a grave mistake," the prime minister said in a statement on Saturday, adding, "This will not deter me or the State of Israel from continuing our just war against our enemies in order to secure our future.

"I say to Iran and its proxies in its axis of evil: Anyone who tries to harm Israel's citizens will pay a heavy price," Netanyahu warned.

Hezbollah media chief Mohammed Afif during a press conference in Beirut on Tuesday declared the Iranian-backed terrorist organization's "full, complete and exclusive responsibility for the Caesarea operation."

The Lebanese terrorist spokesman also warned, "If we did not reach you this time, then we will reach you the next time. Between us lie the days, nights and the battlefield."
