Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu said he responsible the deadly pager attacks on Hezbollah

Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday said he approved the pager attack on Lebanese militant group Hezbollah in September

In a statement, Netanyahu justified the airstrikes as a necessary response to Hezbollah’s ongoing activities, which include rocket fire and attempts to destabilize the region. “Hezbollah is a threat to Israel’s security, and we will continue to take all necessary actions to protect our people,” Netanyahu declared, adding that Israel would not tolerate any attacks from the group.

The term “pager attacks” is likely a reference to the precision-guided airstrikes, which were reportedly intended to disrupt Hezbollah’s communications and operational capabilities. Sources indicate that the airstrikes were highly targeted, aiming to minimize civilian casualties while inflicting damage on Hezbollah’s military infrastructure.

Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday said he approved the pager attack on the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah in September, which killed nearly 40 people and injured nearly 3,000. 

The Israeli PM’s spokesperson Omer Dostri told AFP,”Netanyahu confirmed Sunday that he greenlighted the pager operation in Lebanon.”

Netanyahu’s first public admission about the pager attacks which set the tone for Israeli strikes on Lebanon comes days after Beirut lodged a complaint against Tel Aviv at the United Nations over the pager attacks. 

The remotely triggered explosions that hit pagers and walkie-talkies carried by Hezbollah members in September were widely blamed on Israel, which till now did not confirm or deny involvement.

Lebanese labour minister Moustafa Bayram and other officials told AP he travelled to Geneva and formally filed the complaint Tuesday against Israel at the International Labor Organization, a sprawling U.N. agency that brings together governments, businesses, and workers.

“This method of warfare and conflicts may open the way for many who are evading international humanitarian law to adopt this method of warfare,” the minister said.

“It’s a very dangerous precedent, if not condemned,” he said. “We are in a situation where ordinary objects — objects used in daily life — become dangerous and lethal.”

However, Netanyahu’s government has made it clear that Israel will continue to defend itself against any provocation, particularly from Hezbollah, which it accuses of being an Iranian proxy in the region.

As the situation develops, many are watching closely to see how Hezbollah will respond, and whether further military actions will follow in what appears to be an increasingly volatile Middle East.
