Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu admitted that he authorized pager attacks in Lebanon. In September, a pager explosion in Lebanon killed about 40 people. More than 3,000 members of the Iran-backed Hezbollah group were injured. “Netanyahu confirmed on Sunday that he had given the green signal to the pager bombing operation in Lebanon,” Omar Dostri, a spokesman for the Israeli prime minister, said.
Israel is already under suspicion
On September 17 and 18, thousands of pagers were detonated in Hezbollah strongholds. Iran and Hezbollah have blamed Israel for this. Some Hezbollah members lost fingers after pagers exploded. Some people lost their eyesight. About 40 people died. Thousands were injured.
This is why Lebanon uses pagers
Hezbollah later described the pager bombings as Israeli sabotage of its communications networks. Iranian and Hezbollah militants later vowed to avenge the attack. Lebanese Hezbollah members use pager devices as a means of communication to avoid Israeli location tracking.
Israeli attack kills dozens
On Sunday, dozens of people, including children, were killed in Israeli attacks in Lebanon and northern Gaza. However, the world’s eyes are on how the US election will affect the ongoing war against the Iran-backed terror groups Hamas and Hezbollah.
Netanyahu talks to Donald Trump
