Netanyahu said he’s spoken three times with Trump since the election and that they “see eye-to-eye regarding the Iranian threat and all of its components.”

Israeli airstrikes killed dozens of people, including at least 20 children, across Gaza and Lebanon on Sunday, health authorities said, as the human toll of Israel’s parallel wars continued to climb.

At least 20 children are among the dead in attacks north of Beirut and in northern Gaza, officials rescuers and medics say.

Israeli strikes killed dozens of people on Sunday in Lebanon and the northern Gaza Strip, where the military has been waging a major offensive for more than a month that aid groups say has further worsened the humanitarian crisis in the besieged enclave.

At least 26 people were killed and over 3,200 others injured when thousands of pager devices exploded in several areas across Lebanon on Sept 17 and 18.

Israel Prime Minister Benjamin “Netanyahu confirmed Sunday that he greenlighted the pager operation in Lebanon,” his spokesman Omer Dostri was quoted as saying.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday accepted to have "okayed" the pager attacks in Lebanon, two months after the deadly attacks killed 40 people and wounded 3,000 people in September.
