The massive works documented at Netanyahu's home, and the goal: deploying giant anti-drone nets

Massive fortification works at Netanyahu's home on Gaza Street in Jerusalem: two cranes blocked the street and at least 10 workers installed giant anti-drone nets. The couple does not reside there. A neighbor complained: "It's scary, what about us?" The Prime Minister's Office paid 127 million shekels on securing residences since 2023.

Over the past two days, massive works took place at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's private home on Gaza Street in Jerusalem, recognized as an alternative official residence. Two cranes blocked the main traffic artery in the Rehavia neighborhood, and at least 10 workers were engaged in installing anti-drone shielding nets. The Netanyahu couple does not live in this house, but in another home in the same area. One neighbor told ynet: "If you're afraid of drones, maybe do a 'favor' and also take care of the neighbors and not just cause anxiety? This shielding is really scary. What about us?" The article notes that the Prime Minister's Office paid between 2023 and 2026 a sum of 127,432,277 shekels on security projects at the prime minister's residences, with the main increase due to investment in securing the official residence following an explosive drone threat. Additionally, it was revealed that a secret tunnel was built from the house to the nearby synagogue, but its construction was halted and Netanyahu did not attend Yom Kippur prayers.
