Israeli PM Netanyahu says Iran proxies tried to 'assassinate' him and his wife

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday said Iranian-backed groups who tried to kill him and his wife would pay "a heavy price," after his office reported a drone targeted his residence in Caesarea.

"Iran's proxies who tried to assassinate me and my wife today made a grave mistake," said Netanyahu who, his office said, was not home at the time of the incident.
