(Worthy Insights) – Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu revealed Sunday that Israel moved up its pager operation against Hezbollah by several weeks after intelligence indicated that three pagers sent from Lebanon were being scanned in Iran.
Speaking at the Jewish News Syndicate (JNS) conference in Jerusalem, Netanyahu said, “In the third week of September, we learned that Hezbollah had sent three pagers to Iran for scanning. I was told it would take them a day. I said: we need to act.”
The operation, originally planned for October, was expedited. “We launched the campaign in Lebanon three weeks earlier than planned, while the military still needed time to prepare for war,” he said. “I told them to prepare for war immediately.” [ Source: Ynet News (Read More…) ]
