I had approved the pager attack, 54 days later Netanyahu took responsibility

Benjamin Netanyahu News: Israel has publicly acknowledged for the first time that the deadly attack on Hezbollah's communications equipment in Lebanon in September was carried out on the instructions of the Prime Minister's Office. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed on Sunday that he had ordered the attack. The attack caused widespread explosions at Hezbollah's bases, proving to be a major setback for the Iran-backed terrorist organization.

Hezbollah had already blamed Israel for these attacks and vowed to take revenge. Prime Minister spokesman Omar Dosti confirmed that Netanyahu had approved this pager operation, making a clear statement for the first time on Israel's direct involvement.

40 people killed and thousands injured in pager attack

These attacks carried out through pagers on Hezbollah's communications network in September killed about 40 people and injured about three thousand people. The explosions took place in supermarkets, streets and funeral events in Lebanon, which created a situation of fear and tension across the region. The attack caused serious disruptions in Hezbollah's communication system, which had a profound impact on the activities of the organization.

The incident took place on 7 October 2023, when Hamas attacked Israel, after which Hezbollah carried out sporadic attacks on Israel in support of its ally Hamas. In response, Israel launched attacks on Hezbollah bases in south Lebanon, and gradually it took the form of ground operations.

Israel retaliatory strike in Gaza: 17 civilians killed

Israel also attacked a refugee camp in northern Gaza early Sunday, killing at least 17 people, including nine women. Dr. Fadl Naeem, director of Al-Ahli Hospital, said the death toll from this attack is expected to increase. During the attack, the refugee camp of Jabalia was targeted, where terrorist elements were present according to the Israeli military. However, Israel has not provided any concrete evidence in support of this claim.

Israel-Hezbollah Confrontation: New Challenge to Regional Stability

After this attack, tensions between Israel and Hezbollah have reached new heights. Israel's targeting of Hezbollah's communication network and direct admission of the attack has created a new geopolitical crisis in West Asia. This admission can have a long-term impact on regional security, peace efforts and bilateral relations.

On the other hand, the Israeli attack on Gaza and the response from Hezbollah have increased instability throughout the Middle East. This new round of conflict between Israel and Hezbollah has given rise to the possibility of affecting the stability of Lebanon, Gaza and West Asia.

Conclusion

It is clear from Israel's admission that its aggressive approach in the region is aimed at weakening any opposing force. The growing confrontation between Hezbollah and Israel has indicated that it may be difficult to expect any kind of peace in West Asia soon.
