Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has confirmed for the first time that he authorized a significant attack against Hezbollah, which occurred on September 17. The operation involved simultaneous bombings located throughout Lebanon, resulting in 39 fatalities and approximately 3,000 injuries. Although Israel had not publicly acknowledged the attack, experts had linked it to Israeli intelligence. The escalation in violence follows Hezbollah’s earlier aggression towards Israel, which intensified into open warfare, leading to substantial Israeli military responses in Lebanon.
