Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu admitted that he had authorized pager attacks in Lebanon. In September, a pager blast in Lebanon killed nearly 40 people. More than 3,000 members of the Iran-backed Hezbollah organization have been injured. “Netanyahu confirmed on Sunday that he has given the green light to a pager blast operation in Lebanon,” said Omar Dosti, a spokesman for the Israeli PM.
Israel was already under suspicion
On September 17 and 18, thousands of pagers were detonated in Hezbollah strongholds. Iran and Hezbollah have already blamed Israel for this. Several members of Hezbollah lost their fingers after the pager blast. Some lost their eyesight. About 40 people were killed. Thousands of people were injured.
That is why pagers are used in Lebanon
Hezbollah then described the pager blasts as an Israeli breach of its communications network. Then and Iran and Hezbollah fighters vowed to retaliate for the attack. Pager devices are used by Hezbollah members in Lebanon as a means of communication to avoid Israeli location tracking.
Dozens of people were killed in the Israeli attack
On the other hand, dozens of people, including children, were killed in Israeli attacks in Lebanon and northern Gaza on Sunday. However, all eyes around the world were on how the US elections could affect the ongoing war against Iran-backed terrorist groups Hamas and Hezbollah.
Netanyahu spoke with Donald Trump
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he had spoken to Donald Trump three times since Tuesday’s election. Israeli President Isaac Herzog is scheduled to meet US President Joe Biden on Tuesday.
