"The attempt by Iran's proxy Hezbollah to assassinate me and my wife today was a grave mistake," Netanyahu said in a statement. He emphasized that anyone who tries to harm Israel's citizens will "pay a heavy price," directing his comments at Tehran and its proxies, which notably include Hezbollah.
Despite the attack, Hezbollah did not acknowledge responsibility immediately. However, Iran's UN mission later confirmed that the action was indeed taken by Hezbollah, indicating a direct acknowledgment of involvement.
The situation between Israel and Hezbollah has been tense, stemming from the ongoing Gaza conflict. What initially began as sporadic exchanges of fire evolved into a significant escalation in late September.
Netanyahu's accusation underscores a growing concern regarding the escalation of threats from Iran and its proxies, particularly as geopolitical tensions in the region continue to rise.
