Israeli police have arrested several people after two flares were fired at prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s residence in Caesarea to the northern part of the occupied territories.

Police and Israel’s so-called internal security service, Shin Bet, said in a joint statement that no damage or casualties were reported in the Saturday incident.

“The prime minister and his family were not in the house at the time of the incident,” they said and added that an investigation has been opened into the incident they called as ‘dangerous escalation’.

The Israel Police later said three people were arrested in the early hours of Sunday morning in connection with the firing of flares.

Figures across the Israeli political spectrum condemned the incident as unacceptable.

Netanyahu’s political rivals and opposition leaders Yair Lapid and Benny Gantz issued statements, condemning the incident and calling for law enforcement to bring the perpetrators to justice.

Israeli president Isaac Herzog also issued a strong condemnation, and labeled the attack “a highly dangerous incident.”

The incident comes after a drone attack targeted the same residence on October 19, which was later claimed by the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement.
