The Arab League strongly condemned on Tuesday the Israeli attack against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and occupied West Bank.

It slammed the heinous killing of 14 Palestinians and injury of 20 others.

It warned that this dangerous escalation is another chapter in the open war the Israeli government is waging against the Palestinian people, their properties and sanctities as part of its open policy to destroy any chance to achieve peace.

It accused the government of seeking to stoke chaos and violence in the region.

The Arab League held the government fully responsible for the escalation and its consequences on the entire region.

It called on the international community, especially the United Nations Security Council, to intervene immediately to put a stop to the Israeli attacks, provide international protection to the Palestinian people and bring the perpetrators to justice.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the attempt of Iran's proxy Hezbollah to assassinate him and his wife on Saturday was "a grave mistake," after his spokesman said a drone was launched from Lebanon at his holiday home.

None of the groups firing on Israel over the last year, including the Iran-backed Lebanese armed group Hezbollah, have claimed responsibility for that attack.

Israel’s government said a drone was launched toward the prime minister’s house Saturday, with no casualties.  

Sirens wailed Saturday morning in Israel, warning of incoming fire from Lebanon, with a drone launched toward Netanyahu’s house in Caesarea, the Israeli government said.

Neither he nor his wife were home, said his spokesperson in a statement.

The strikes into Israel come as its war with Lebanon’s Hezbollah — a Hamas ally — has intensified in recent weeks.  

Hezbollah said Friday that it planned to launch a new phase of fighting by sending more guided missiles and exploding drones into Israel. The armed group’s longtime leader, Hassan Nasrallah, was killed in an Israeli airstrike in late September, and Israel sent ground troops into Lebanon earlier in October.  

A standoff is also ensuing between Israel and Hamas, which it’s fighting in Gaza, with both signaling resistance to ending the war after Israel’s killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar this week.  

On Friday, Iran’s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, said Sinwar’s death was a painful loss but noted that Hamas carried on despite the killings of other Palestinian militant leaders before him.  

“Hamas is alive and will stay alive,” Khamenei said.
