Former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant claims that the 'beeper operation' in Israel could have eliminated thousands of Hezbollah terrorists if it had been conducted just days after the October 7 massacre. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu disagrees, stating that it was necessary to wait. Netanyahu also believes that attacking Hezbollah at that time would have been a 'grave mistake.' The public dispute between the two comes after reports suggest that the beeper operation could have killed 15,000 Hezbollah fighters if executed after the October 7 massacre.
