Israel's new defense minister says Hezbollah defeated; Netanyahu acknowledges approving pager attacks - eviltoast

Summary

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced that Israel has “defeated Hezbollah” following a series of operations, including the assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.

The campaign included a September attack on Hezbollah communication devices, where thousands of pagers exploded in Beirut, killing 39 and injuring over 3,400.

Israeli media reported that Prime Minister Netanyahu personally approved the pager attack despite internal opposition.

Israel now hopes an international coalition encourage Lebanon to normalize relations with Israel.

    I’m not conservative, fascist, or antisemitic. You’re wrong on every level. I’m done here.

      Can you explain to me how you’re supportive of Israel’s government and its actions without it being from a conservative or fascist perspective?

      What do you identify as?

      I never called you antisemitic, I don’t conflate opinions on Israel or Zionism with people’s Jewish identity. There are many anti-Israel and anti-Zionist Jews.
