Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu admitted for the first time that Israel was behind the pager and walkie-talkie attacks on Hezbollah in September. The attacks occurred after a year of rocket and drone attacks on Israel by Hezbollah. Netanyahu blamed the security forces for failure to foresee Hamas's October 7 massacre and resisted calls for a public commission of inquiry. The attacks on northern Israel since October 2023 have resulted in the deaths of 40 civilians and 61 IDF soldiers and reservists.
