Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu admitted that he had authorized pager attacks in Lebanon. In September, about 40 people were killed in a pager blast in Lebanon. More than 3 thousand members of the Iran-backed Hezbollah organization were injured. Israeli PM spokesman Omar Dostri said, 'Netanyahu confirmed on Sunday that he had given the green signal to the pager blast operation in Lebanon.'
Israel was already under suspicion
On 17 and 18 September, thousands of pagers were detonated in Hezbollah strongholds. Iran and Hezbollah had already blamed Israel for this. Some Hezbollah members lost fingers after the pager blast. Some had lost their eyesight. About 40 people were killed. Thousands of people were injured.
This 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 avenge the attack. Pager devices are used by Hezbollah members in Lebanon as their means of communication to avoid Israeli location tracking.
Dozens of people died in Israeli attack
On the other hand, dozens of people, including children, died in Israeli attacks in Lebanon and Northern Gaza on Sunday. However, all eyes around the world were on how the elections in America could affect the ongoing war against Iran-backed terrorist groups Hamas and Hezbollah.
