Trump 'knew everything' about Lebanon pagers attack, here's what he said
U.S. President Donald Trump has said he knew everything about the Israeli pagers' attack that targeted Hezbollah's pagers and walkie-talkies, killing 42 people and injuring 4,000, including children and civilians.
The attack on 17 and 18 September 2024 was part of an Israeli operation against Hezbollah, which had started firing rockets into Israel in solidarity with the Palestinians following the Oct. 7 attack.
"All of those attacks were done in auspices with, actually, with me directly," Trump said. "You know, with Israel doing the attacks, with the pagers and all that stuff... they let me know everything. And sometimes I'd say no, and they'd be respectful of that."
