Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made it clear at the weekly meeting of the Israeli government that he had approved the killing of the leader of the Lebanese Hezbollah movement, Hassan Nasrallah, as well as the detonation of the devices—such as pagers and walkie-talkies—of the militants of that organization in Lebanon on September 17 and 18, Ynet reports.

There were people in the Israeli government who were against the killing of Nasrallah. When he wanted to eliminate Nasrallah and others, there were ministers in the Israeli government who were against it, but he did not agree and went until the end, Netanyahu said during the session of the Israeli government, Ynet reports.
