‘Israeli’ Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu admitted during a cabinet meeting on Sunday that the ‘Israeli’ occupation was responsible for the September pager and wireless receiver terrorist attacks on Lebanon that wounded and killed hundreds of people, as per ‘Israeli’ media. 

According to these reports, Netanyahu said, “The pager operation and the elimination of [Sayyed Hassan] Nasrallah were carried out despite the opposition of senior officials in the defense establishment and those responsible for them in the political echelon.” 

Netanyahu’s remarks appeared to take aim at Israeli occupation forces and intelligence leaders, signaling a rift between his administration and security officials over the telecom devices’ attacks.

At least 39 people, including two children, were killed and more than 3,400 others suffered mostly debilitating injuries throughout the country after explosives planted in advance in numerous pager and walkie-talkie devices were set off on September 18 and 19.

The casualties included many members of Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement.

The blasts maimed many of the victims, afflicting them with eye and limb injuries. The injuries that ranged from missing limbs to gaping abdominal wounds and other lesions occurred after the devices beeped indicating incoming messages.

Beirut has denounced the attacks for being “unprecedented in its brutality.”
