Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gifted US President Donald Trump a golden pager while on his visit to Washington DC this week.
The pager represents of “a turning point in the war” when Israel carried out a deadly operation against Hezbollah in September 2024, according to Netanyahu’s office. In the operation, Israel targeted pagers used by members of the Iran-backed militant group, causing them to explode.
Dozens of people were killed and thousands injured in the attacks. Israel said it was tailored to target only Hezbollah members, but civilians were among the victims, Lebanese officials said.
