The Lebanese government has accused Israel of being responsible for the recent pager explosions that occurred on Tuesday. Prime Minister Najib Mikati labeled the attack as 'criminal Israeli aggression' during a cabinet meeting, emphasizing that it was a serious violation of Lebanese sovereignty. The state-run NNA news outlet reported Mikati's statements condemning the incident.
Information Minister Ziad Makary echoed these sentiments during a news conference in Beirut, stating that the Lebanese government has reached out to the United Nations and other relevant countries to ensure accountability for what he described as an ongoing crime. The government's response to the attacks has been one of strong condemnation and a call for justice.
On the other hand, the Israeli military opted not to comment on the incidents, maintaining a stance of silence regarding the accusations made by the Lebanese government. The lack of response from Israel has added to the tension surrounding the situation and raised questions about the potential motivations behind the attacks.
The pager explosions have heightened tensions between Lebanon and Israel, with the Lebanese government firmly pointing the finger at its neighbor for the aggression. As the situation unfolds, both countries are likely to face increased scrutiny from the international community as efforts are made to determine the truth behind the attacks and hold those responsible to account.
