Netanyahu Forced Into Underground Safe Room – Hezbollah Highlights Israel’s Security Failures

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly been forced to work from an underground safe room after several drone strikes targeted his residence and office, highlighting growing security concerns.
