The State Censor cleared for publication on Tuesday that the UAV launched by Hezbollah on Saturday struck the private home of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and caused damage.
The UAV precisely struck a bedroom window. All three UAVs that were launched that day were intended for the Netanyahus' home.
The Netanyahus were not home at the time of the strike.
"Iran's proxies, who today tried to assassinate my wife and me, have made a serious mistake," Netanyahu said after the strike. "This will not deter me or the State of Israel from continuing the war of renewal against our enemies, in order to ensure our security for generations to come.
"I say to the Iranians and their partners in the axis of evil: Anyone who harms the citizens of Israel will pay a very heavy price. We will continue to eliminate your terrorists, we will bring our hostages home from Gaza, we will return our residents to the north. We will achieve all of the goals which we set for the war, and we will change the security situation in our region - for generations to come."
On Monday, the Prime Minister's wife, Sara Netanyahu, discussed for the first time the UAV strike in a post on Instagram: "The attempt to kill the Prime Minister of Israel and me is not only a personal attempt, but an attack on all of us - the people of Israel."
Mrs. Netanyahu wrote: "Thank you from all my heart for all of the worry and the heartwarming messages from Israel and abroad. At this difficult and tumultuous time, we feel the warm embrace and the strength that you give us to continue standing up against all threats and to strengthen our brave soldiers."
She added: "Our hearts are will our soldiers and our heroes, who are protecting the country without a break, with unparalleled dedication and courage. We are with them, and as always, we will continue to stand up to any challenge. I wish us all quiet days and security."
On Tuesday the Saudi al-Hadath network reported that individuals in Iran's Embassy in Beirut were involved in the attempt on Netanyahu's life.
