Netanyahu Confirms He Okayed Pager Attacks That Killed Nearly 40 In Lebanon | Read
Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accepted that he had "okayed" the pager attacks in Lebanon, which had killed nearly 40 and wounded 3,000 Iran-backed Hezbollah members in September.
"Netanyahu confirmed Sunday that he greenlighted the pager operation in Lebanon," his spokesperson Omer Dostri told news agency AFP.
Thousands of pagers exploded in Hezbollah strongholds on September 17 and 18 - which Iran and Hezbollah blamed on Israel. Some of the Hezbollah members who were injured reportedly lost their fingers, while some lost their eyesight.
